Ok now I am just on a TREASURENET HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is so awesome on this site. I posted this on an earlier thread, but I wanted to repost it with a new picture with a better post. We found this on a dive on in about 20 feet of water. This is a site where there has been more than one wreck, so I don't know that the wreck information would help, and I have not done much research about the wrecks. I do know that the nations going through the area were Spanish, English and Danish and the time period was 1650-1800s... But this piece just stuns me! I have seen a lot of porcelain, but never a painted scene with people on it. Has anyone ever seen a piece like this? It's so cool! I would love to know more.

Don't think it's porcelain - looks more like ironware. Oriental design (figure to right is western in sailors uniform playing a concertina - two figures to left are oriental - probably Chinese), popular in late 18th/early 19th C - possibly English manufacture - Leeds creamware perhaps, maybe Staffordshire - monochrome silkscreened image. - anything on the back?

Here are some pics of back and side. There is some impact of something circular on back, I am trying to capture it in the photo with limited success....
