Hi,

I couldn't figure out where you assemblage was from, but here in 
Illinois (or in southwest Michigan) I would certainly put what you 
have illustrated into a nice pre-1840 setting ...

In your first photo, which includes the refined earthenwares, I would 
guess that your blue painted sherd would fit comfortably into the ca. 
1820-30 large-format or "broadbrush" monochrome blue handpainted 
tradition, although the photo is very small.

Mark

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with Marxism, so long as you stop 
at "A Day At The Races." If you keep on with "At the Circus," etc., 
suddenly, Marxism doesn't seem all that interesting and you start to 
look for something a bit more competent, like Chaplinism or 
Stoogeism"  - Anonymous
