Andrew,
Types 1a and 1b are a lead glazed earthenware. Potters in southwestern Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois were making lead glazed earthenware circa 1870. I did a paper in the Wisconsin Archeologist in the 1970s or early 1980s that cites some unpublished info on a potter in the lead mining district in southwest Wisconsin. Also there is a paper on a pottery that operated at Galena, Illinois. If you need these references, I'll try to find them for you, I am on a long away form that distance and time wise so it may take a while.

Subject: Please help in identifying 19th Century Ceramic type
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can identify the type of ceramic and provide a
source for the ceramics located during a surface survey, I conducted for my
master’s degree.
I posted multiple pictures of the two types, I need help identifying:

Brief background: The site resides in a large agricultural field. The site
consists of a small artifact scatter including glass, ceramic, and brick (no
large structural remains were located). The site is believed to be a
mid-19th century structure as seen on 1858 plat map and not present on the
1872 plat map when a new owner.
