Jessica,From Charleston, we have two sites that have yielded miniature, or toy, tea cup and saucer, with brown line around the rim and brown asterisks throughout the body. One was excavated from a privy by Elaine Herold in 1979, which she dated 1795-1815. I have two shell-edged fragments with asterisks (all overglaze enamel) from a privy feature dated c. 1810. A final example from the Heyward Washington privy features overglazed brown shell edging, plus a flower and vine, from a context dated 1810-1820 by Elaine Herold. I think I have another from our Lower Market/City Wall project, but I haven't located it yet. Latest context on that site is 1810ish. All of these dates agree well with Rob's dates below.Martha Zierden

This type of decoration is fairly common throughout the mid-Atlantic and is restricted to teawares. I usually associate this decorative scheme with the 1805-1810 period.
