There is a parallel for the base mark that looks as though it's imitating Chinese porcelain marks. This is the mark of Charles Meigh of Hanley, Staffordshire, operating between 1835-49, but it was also used by the preceding company, J. Meigh and Son (c.1805-34) and the succeeding company, Charles Meigh and Son (1851-61) (Godden 1964, 428-429). The CM mark in the '..CASTER' stamp suggests that it's Charles Meigh, which puts the date just before the wreck date.This item was found along with two stoneware jars (MAS-D100046) and were recovered from the wreck of Josephine Willis. Other objects similar in style to the ceramic recorded here have also been recovered on different occasions from this wreck site (MAS-D100048, MAS-D100054, MAS-D100058, MAS-D100059) along with other non-ceramic objects including candlesticks, a deadeye and three square portholes.
The Josephine Willis was a New Zealand sail and steam propelled packet ship built in c.1840. The ship was carrying 110 people on board bound for Auckland, comprising ten First class passengers, 60 steerage and 40 crew. It sank in 1856 following a collision with Mangerton with the loss of 69 lives. NRHE and Kent HER reference numbers cited in this record refer to the wreck of Josephine Willis.CONTAINER3939180518561118/173MAS2017-06-03T00:00:00ZFOOD SERVING CONTAINER1025695Kent HER Number: TR 22 NE 45With finder2017-06-03T17:39:00Z2017-09-26T13:20:13Z4712772752843215PAS5989C577001EA7PAS57BC21F300115B218210KentTR183051.02800971.10748152immature.twang.uncouth10MAS MASMASCeramic10539OtherCompleteGoodNINETEENTH CENTURYNINETEENTH CENTURYDivingSubmitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck47_terracottawithbowls.jpg156images/MASLR2017-11-06T18:19:39.922Zfinds-4242MAS-D100042BOWLNINETEENTH CENTURYFragment of white ceramic bowl or lid marked with black and white geometric design and number '23'. Number appears to be hand-painted or stamped. Found loose on the seabed with a little marine growth present. This is a naval issue bowl probably used for drinking rather than smaller, handled cups, as they were more practical on board a ship. The number refers to the mess number, and the bowls were designed to be stored upside-down. The find dates to the late 19th or 20th century.CONTAINER39411119/173MAS2017-05-03T00:00:00ZFOOD SERVING CONTAINERWith finder2017-05-29T15:59:39Z2017-09-26T13:19:10Z425110160152811315PAS5989C577001EA7PAS57BC21F300115B214362DorsetSZ057950.6106936-1.93069645excuse.snore.bookings10MAS MASMASCeramic10539GeometricFragmentPoorNINETEENTH CENTURYMODERNDivingSubmitted as wreck to the Receiver of WreckLid3.jpg147images/MASLR2017-11-06T18:19:59.264Zfinds-194194MAS-D100194BOWLNINETEENTH CENTURYOne complete round bowl with a diameter of 241.3 mm and one part of a broken plate, both displaying the markers mark. Both pieces of ceramics have dark coloured decorative bands running around the outside and inside rim and have fractal cracks present. The white ceramic also has brown blemishes in places, but overall is in fair condition. The symbol crest in the centre of the bowl is a shield with "H.A.P. A.G" inscribed, overlying an anchor. "H.A.P. A.G" refers to The Hamburg Amerikanische Packetfahrt Aktien Gesellschaft; a German shipping company that operated from 1847 until 1970. It is more than likely that these pieces were part of the vessel's everyday tableware.This find was recovered from the wreck of SS Pomerania, a German ocean liner steamer built in 1873 by J. Caird & Co., in Greenock. This vessel was one of many owned by the Hamburg Amerikanische Packetfahrt Actien Gesellschaft (HAPAG); a transatlantic shipping enterprise established in Hamburg in 1847 that transported hundreds of thousands of emigrants from Germany, Scandinavia, and eastern Europe to the United States, Canada, Latin America, and other destinations around the world. The ship sank in 1878, 5 miles SE of Folkestone whilst carrying 109 passengers and 111 crew en route from New York to Cherbourg and Hamburg, last from Plymouth, following a collision with Welsh barque Moel Eilian and resulting in the loss of 55 lives.

There are two bowls of 75 mm diameter and 55 mm high. The other two pieces are two pearly white plates with 122 mm diameter. They probably belong to the cargo or tableware of the wreck SS Strathclyde that sank in 1876 thereofre can be dated to the end of the 19th century. Any stamps or markings on the base of the tableware would give more inidcation as to the location and date of manufacture.This items was found with three glass bottles (MAS-D100230), one stoneware bottle (MAS-D100231) and four stoneware ink bottles (MAS-D100232).
All of these items were recovered from the wreck of SS Strathclyde, a British trading steamship built in 1871 in Blackwood, Port Glasgow. The ship sank in 1876 off Dover whilst carrying 23 passengers and 47 crew for Bombay, following a collision with Franconia and resulting in the loss of 38 lives.
