Any ideas on the date range of this pottery?

Looks like hand painted stoneware to me. On some of the pieces you can see individual brushstrokes.On 2 of the rim pieces, it looks like it was stenciled sponge ware. Also looks like at least 2 different pieces. They started making stoneware in Stafford shire, England in the early 1800's as a cheaper alternative to porcelain. There are a lot of companies still making stoneware, so unless you had a piece with an actual makers mark, it would be difficult to date.

Do they make stoneware out of material that resembles red brick? I have never seen any stoneware like this. If you have a link, I'd love to see it.

Cheers,

To me it looks like redware, described here: Redware - Collector Information | Collectors Weekly

I'm agreeing that's some neat redware

Looks like it. These pieces had a rustic and sparse design. Thanks NHBenz!!

All of it is redware. Redware has been made since Roman days, and before then. They pieces with the white glaze, which appears to be a tin glaze are hand painted. Redware in the US can date from 1600's to the present, but most production was stopped by the Civil War. The pieces with the white glaze are reminiscent of Delftware. Dating it will depend on what else you get from the site. My best guestimate is 1750-1840. That's a broad range. Any coins or buttons found? That would narrow it down some.

Coins spanned 1720-1848, which is quite a span too. Thanks for the great info, smokeythecat!
