Hoping for info

Bottle found around the rock pools in point Lonsdale, Victoria, Australia. Does anybody know where it's from? Thanks in advance

Any idea what can cause these grooves? Manufacturing defect maybe?

Bent glass

This piece is actually bent at an angle, not just curved. Curious what caused this! Maybe from a bonfire, or was the original item made like this?

Do you keep pieces like this?

Just found this large piece with a cool wavy pattern on it, but it’s barely polished on the edges. If I found it anywhere other than the beach I’d consider it garbage and toss it in the recycle bin. Thinking maybe to toss it back and let someone else find it in a few years when it’s really cool. Curious what other people do with pieces like this.

ETA - it has been returned. I live on a tiny beach (about 200 feet long between cliffs) so I don’t get a ton of sea glass and pieces this size are rare, so I was being a little clingy. 😁 But I agree that it’s better to let it get more sanded.

Found a piece that looked black at first and with my flashlight looks brown!

Almost walked past this as the waves crept up on the same beach as my last find but managed to pick it up in time! My microscope’s camera picks it up as red but it’s person it’s very obviously brown but barely any light gets through

Mosaic trinket trays 🌸

Made some little souvenirs to give to family after collecting a lot of sea glass on holiday!

I just bought some little dishes and all I used is white grout, some underneath and some on top, the third picture shows the difference before and after doing the top grout and I’m glad I went forward with grouting all of them!

I originally intended them to be coasters but they’re possibly a bit too small and with the lip a bit impractical.

My favourite is definitely the turquoise flowers so I’m thinking of keeping that one for myself.

Another crazy one day Glass Beach (Port Townsend) haul

Was curious to see how much new stuff that beach spits up after just a couple days… needless to say I’ve met my quota for some time.

Amazing haul in Iceland

Had a 24 hour layover in Iceland so took a lovely beach stroll not far from the airport - couldn’t believe how much seaglass was there. We could have filled a suitcase! The volcanic sand really helps it pop out too! Cheers all
