I was doing my daily dig around Facebook Marketplace for something interesting for sale and today, as usual, we’ve struck something interesting. Today I saw this 104 year old piece of pottery from Seale Hayne WW1 Military Hospital which is signed by registered Nurse E.W. Rose and dated 1918 who lead the pottery classes at the hospital.

For those that don’t know, Seale Hayne was a Miltary Hospital in Devon England. This antique is located in St. John’s at the moment and the seller is asking $650 CAD for it. I thought this was an interesting piece of world history that’s located here and I’d love the hear the stories this mug knows and could tell.
