Anyone know pottery?

Age on this? It was dug at a very old home site

I don't know pottery, but as a guess, I'd say it is a piece of flow blue.

Check out ebay for "flow blue".

Finding out the exact pattern and maker could be very difficult though.

thin and looks to be more like flow blue porcelain than common flow blue earthenware...maybe a tea cup...

Hey Mack,

I'm with unclemac on it appearing to be porcelain. Perhaps a side view would help. I don't believe the pattern is what Westerners call "Flow Blue." I've seen similar shards show up in my shovel from late 19th Century holes.

Chinese export porcelain.

Wow, 1556 really?!?

 

[unclemac]

no, most likely not...very common and who knows how old for sure.

Unlikely. The site I cited has to do with Mudlarking the Thames in London. I think the Chinese arrived in Wilkes Barre somewhat later...
