Hi Terry, I like your post. A couple of the pieces are a bit small to help people with identification. The shell edge also had an earlier version, it was first used about 1790 and was made of a light white material. That was called "creamware". The blue shell edge is much more akin with modern ceramics and the picture posted is correct as mid 19th century. Here are a few pieces showing more detail.

First, 16th century Rhenish (German) stoneware, a small tankard. View attachment IMG_0635.jpg Second, American made slipware on a light greyish body ca 1760 ish,
a half pint sized bowl. View attachment IMG_0637.jpg Third American made redware ca 1750-1760 a really early piece. I got this one from an estate auction in PA about 30 years ago. One of my best finds ever. View attachment IMG_0634.jpg Next, Staffordshire (England) slipware, ca 1720-1770 more or less, a small dish. Next American 18th century stoneware, probably Pennsylvania (best guess) View attachment IMG_0641.jpg Next a mid 18th century Staffordshire salt glazed plate View attachment IMG_0632.jpg And a nice Whieldon plate ca 1760 made in England View attachment IMG_0638.jpg and lastly a Delft plate, mid 18th century. Not sure of country of origin, but probably England mimicking the Chinese imports of the time. Enjoy. View attachment IMG_0640.jpg

I don't know from what period but all I need to see is MADE IN CHINA to confirm. ╦╦Ç

TerryC, "made in China" did not come till much later. When out I can date a site quickest by the pottery. It's an old trick. Think of cigarette lighters. They have been around almost 100 years now, and if you find an old steel Zippo lighter, you can date it fairly quickly. Now an 1820 lighter, forget it, they hadn't been made yet. Same theory with pottery. Styles changed and when they did, just like clothes and cars, no one wanted the old stuff.

Of course, Smokey. I am told there was a pottery "factory" on the side of a nearby hill. I would suspect what they really mean is an old Indian site. ╦╦Ç
