I've had this piece for years and don't remember if it was from a privy or in a detector hole. I liked it enough to keep it, hoping to someday get some information about it. I finally remembered that TNet might be a good resource, so here are three views of it. I'm hoping somebody knows enough to identify who, what, where, etc.!

Nice...I too love picking up the pottery flakes, shards, and chips. I cant identify yours but it's quite interesting !! Since we've been on this lockdown I got a bunch out of the box and made a mosaic. Something cool you can do to display them when you have enough. You have to open the image to see it in the right position....right now I can only post pics as attached thumbnails for some reason ?

Looks like a piece of transfer ware. I'd date it to ~1825 or so, an era when transfer printed Chinese designs were popular on English-sourced creamware. Most likely came from Staffordshire, England. Very popular import of the era. Interesting stuff!

Cool! That's more knowledge than I started with; thanks!
