the dish appears to be early 1800 - 1830 era English type scallpped edged -- the pot looks like Germanic style
 

thanks, I thought it was 1700s my bad..
 

Can we get better pics of the pottery? I can date it.
 

Here's some pre-emptive pictures. View attachment IMG_0632.jpg This is mid 18th century creamware made in Staffordshire, England.

View attachment IMG_0638.jpg This is called Whieldon pottery, made ca 1755-1770's. Both the creamware piece and this are very light weight. From what I can see from your pics you may have a piece of this.

View attachment IMG_0641.jpg The is German Westerwald pottery. It is still being made and has been made for several hundred years. Get us close ups and I can probably date it to within 50 years.

IMG_0639.jpg This is 18th century slipware. I think you got a good chunk of it from your previous post.

GREAT stuff.
 

Okay, that appears to be "feather edged" creamware with a Whieldon type glaze. I'd date it 1770-1790. Cool stuff for sure. When I was in the archaeology club we used to ooh and aah over a tiny fragment of it.

I can't quite tell but the white piece is probably ca 1790 pearlware. It also could be a little earlier. The earlier stuff was lighter weight than the later stuff.
 

Awesome finds
 

Great dive and recoveries. Congrats!
 

Thanks!
 

Love the triggerguard. Is that pot complete?
 

The Westerwald piece (blue and grey) CHAMBER POT! CONGRATS! is 1750's to 1800. Now you got a place to GO!:notworthy:
 

Congrats on the very nice relics! :icon_thumleft:
 

Has a piece out of the back. Gonna try and locate it Thursday.
