Charles meakin china

I found these china pottery shards in some dirt I had dug out for my pond. A quick google search says it’s from 1880 or so. Anyone know anything else about it? Looks to be part of a saucer.

Looks like you explained it well....except I would call it ironstone. Should be lots more in the area if there was a trash pit.

Thanks for the info. So 1880 is an accurate time period?

Yes, ironstone it is. That particular mark was used by Meakin's Eastwood Works at Hanley (after production moved from Burslem) and dates to between 1883-1889
