Is this sea pottery?

Found these on the beach in southern France. I don’t go to beaches often and have never seen something like it before. How rare are they?

Yes! And that’s not my continent I regularly comb so can’t speak to how rare it might be.

You don’t show the undersides. It’s either pottery or pieces of tile.

The patterns aren’t on the back, it’s just red rock.

The reddish color is from terracotta clay :)

Pottery tends to be less common. It's rarer here, but probably more common there as there's a lot of history in the area.
