Is this a Stoneware Vase?

[cryptic]

Is this a stoneware vase? I am not familiar with pottery. It was dug in a 1930's bottle dump. The vase has a circle and dot on the bottom.
The vase might be older because I also found an Alfred Meakin plate with makers mark from 1875-1897.

Looks like an old redware jar to me.

Looks a lot like Chinese Earthware,which dates from the 1700's - the late 1800's

It has characteristics of being made by Heinz. Nice find, Breezie

Kind of similar,but what led me to think Chinese.I too have had several that I dug from Chinese dumps that were very similar as the one in question.

Breezie,did your Heinz,have the glaze drip?That seems odd for a Commercial Co. to have that??

The 2 I had were identical with dark brown glaze and a fairly thin white drip in the 'chest' area. (from what I remember) Both were marked/embossed HEINZ on the bottom. I think White's from Ithica made the stoneware for Heinz. I try not to carry too much glassware because I have a tendency to be a butterfingers, so my experience with breakables is limited.

I posted this thread in another forum as well and have had so many different answers to what it could be that I am more confused now then when I found it.

Cryptic, look at it this way, you found an antique stoneware glazed crock in great condition. It's sorta like genealogy, you can't always nail down exactly every detail. Nice find Breezie
