Bowl made of earthenware "olive jar" shards from various Fleet wrecksites. 3431 grams, 12" across top and 8" tall. Earthenware shards are ubiquitous from the 1715 Fleet (as they are for most Spanish wrecksites), so their value is minimal until they are put to good use like we see here, where the finder spent quite a bit of time and money assembling them with a cement-like grout into a big bowl, several of the shards with encrustation intact under a final glaze and one each with name and date of find by hurricane plus one explaining the origin of the shards (Vero Beach, 1715 Fleet, etc.). Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
