Found at a site that possibly had soldiers and civilians camped in 1862. There isn't much to go on here, unfortunately. Identifying this might help me verify that I am on the site that I have been researching.

Not much to go on, although I'm certain that someone here will recognize the abbreviated name and pattern. :thumbsup:

With my untrained eye, I would hazard to guess that it's British dating to from 1820 - 50? :icon_scratch:

Yeah, I know there's not much, but if someone knows the manufacturers, I'm hoping they'll recognize the name or location from those letters. I doubt the pattern on the front piece will be any help, but you never know.

I'm not sure either. If someone on TNet is unable to, you may find it on this website an archaeologist gave me -> https://apps.jefpat.maryland.gov/diagnostic/index.htm. If not, return to the site and maybe you'll find some larger pieces which will help ID it.

If/when I return to the site, I'm hoping to have much more than just a fragment of china.

That website will be useful in general in the future, so thanks for that. I don't know how applicable it will be to our area, but I'm sure it will be of at least some use here. But probably not for this shard. If anybody will be able to help, it will be someone who knows the names of the manufacturers or locations of manufacture. If there were more letters, or even just the first letters instead of the last, I would have a good chance of finding it myself by simply Googling it. But as it is, I'm afraid it will take someone that already knows the names.

I should add that it is a highly glassy/glossy glaze that is very crazed, and on close inspection with a loupe, shows no sign of halftone dots like a transfer would.
