While detecting I occasionally see pottery shards and wanted to get some idea on how to know if they are old, native american, etc...???

There are three shards all with photos from different angles. I added text to each photo to say whether the photo is shard A. B, or C and I would love to get some expert feedback. Thanks.

Hey Ed,

They do appear to have some age. These are white, or black man made stoneware shards. They each appear to be glazed, be it salt glazed, or Albany slip. I'd guess 19th Century.
