Fragments found in creek - identification Posted by Emily C on August 8, 2025, 10:07 am Hello, I found these fragments in a creek (Rocky River) in northeast Ohio, USA. A friend suggested they may be transferware and I’m curious if anyone can ID the pattern shown or confirm what they are. Many thanks!🙏

It certainly looks like the image is of seaweed, and we have 29 patterns (out of nearly 20,000) in our Database of Patterns and Sources, with "seaweed" in the pattern name, but no match. I also tried "coral", no luck with 18 matches. That's the best I can do.

I’m just happy to know we found something old like this near our backyard. It’s pretty cool, even if I can’t ID the pattern. Thanks again!
