[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 432416, member: 1414"] This could be a valuable piece of history, if there is a museum or university near you, take it too them so they can try and identify it. First thoughts it was a marine float, following photos showing the lip/flat bottom would almost certainly identify it as a type of jug/vessel. If you were diving on the East coast it may have originated on the Polynesian Islands and they visited Australian shores many moons ago? There is similar but not same Polynesian pottery here; [url]https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Images+of+polynesian+pottery&rlz=1C1SQJL_enAU796AU796&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiZmM-O0-ncAhVIebwKHRNPDFIQ7Al6BAgCEB8&biw=1434&bih=839#imgrc=muyDhXSEODhU1M[/url]: A burial urn??
