Can anybody date these?

[SCDigginWithAK]

An anybody date these shards for me? The site dates back into the 1700s. If it is possible I'd highly appreciate the guesses at age! 1st piece is great and white. 2 and 3 (same piece but different on opposite sides) is black and white/cream/grey (odd color) and 3 and 4 (same piece) is brown and white/cream/grey
Thanks-

most likely nnno later than 30's and 40's. Back in the day farmers especially, would put up their food in these. Before modern refrigeration and food preservation. Ma would put up beef and pork layered on lard in the big ones, and pa always made his home brew in a 12 gallon one.

Hey Andrew,

May I suggest that you have devoted far more photo real estate to paper, tabletop, etc., then the objects in question. Cropping the photos, or taking closeups in macro mode may yield you better results.

I see salt and Albany slip glazes, both of which have been used for a very long time.

I'm sorry, I can't make out the date on the dime. It appears to be a newer Roosevelt, clad dime worth about .10 cents...
I don't know about any of the other stuff, but I'm sure about the dime.

There used to be someone on TNet who could id old china patterns- and all sorts of things, but that was a long time ago, and of course, I can't even remember the person's name. That second piece- the brown glazed one w/ the pail interior-- almost looks like a lot of pieces of stuff (I don't know what to call it) I find around here. Pipes used to drain land. They're all over the place. But it definitely could also be a crock or jug piece. I find them too, and some have that brown glaze, tho most are grey- at least around these parts.

I too have photo quality issues... but with practice- and the willingness to delete pics that don't work right is a start. That said, that tiny TINY piece of white/green? in the first pic looks like it was once a piece of china w/ an applied pattern (stencil?) - and I'm only guessing at that because I watch Antiques Roadshow a lot. I may have the term wrong. It's not hand-painted. And it's too small- and the pic too far away to really see it and draw a real conclusion. Thanks for trying tho! Yakker
