1700S TRIGGER GUARD, Some great dish to match...

[Calabash Digger]

My buddy got the trigger guard , pot, watch and copper. I got all the early dish...… He got me on this trip but wait until next time. Here is a video clip of me recovering relics in 24 ft to 33 ft of water.

the dish appears to be early 1800 - 1830 era English type scallpped edged -- the pot looks like Germanic style

Here's some pre-emptive pictures. View attachment IMG_0632.jpg This is mid 18th century creamware made in Staffordshire, England.

View attachment IMG_0638.jpg This is called Whieldon pottery, made ca 1755-1770's. Both the creamware piece and this are very light weight. From what I can see from your pics you may have a piece of this.

View attachment IMG_0641.jpg The is German Westerwald pottery. It is still being made and has been made for several hundred years. Get us close ups and I can probably date it to within 50 years.

This is 18th century slipware. I think you got a good chunk of it from your previous post.

GREAT stuff.

Okay, that appears to be "feather edged" creamware with a Whieldon type glaze. I'd date it 1770-1790. Cool stuff for sure. When I was in the archaeology club we used to ooh and aah over a tiny fragment of it.

I can't quite tell but the white piece is probably ca 1790 pearlware. It also could be a little earlier. The earlier stuff was lighter weight than the later stuff.

Love the triggerguard. Is that pot complete?

 

[smokeythecat]

The Westerwald piece (blue and grey) CHAMBER POT! CONGRATS! is 1750's to 1800. Now you got a place to GO!
