Old ceramic dish found wile chasing nails 1871-1890

Today in the layer, a big foundation stone came out and it is a nice stone i could make some Celadon glaze out of so I am saving that in lew of starting my pottery up , I heat the stone and crumble it and millet to a fine powder and use it to make a celadon stoneware glaze very beautiful . their is a rock barr about 400 ft away in the river and no doubt tabor got his foundation stones from the river, also an old board and some Iron junk , but I know coins can lurk in this layer because i have already found and 1862 Indian head penny in it and a 1879 seated dime so you just never know whats behind the next cut nail It also seems the compadre can find the small things like that tack, the Vaquero would never hav heard it in disq but in all metal probably deeper , but as long as the Compadre only hunts in a disc mode its nice to have that ED 160 to hear the Iron ,

And some info on the plate, the fact that its the bottom end line of plate tells me tabor was poor . as most of Furnival ceramics was nicely decorated, ((

1890

(See sources)

Elder Road, Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent
Subsequently became (1890) "Furnivals"



T. Furnival & Sons Established in 1851, T. Furnival & Sons occupied two old Cobridge manufactories, one formerly belonging to Adams and the other to Blackwell, and ranked high as manufacturers of white granite and vitrified ironstone and decorated toilet ware for the United States, Canadian, and Continental markets. For the home trade, they produced 'patent ironstone' dinner and other services in various styles of decoration. Among their specialities were dinner services, etc., of Italian design, in plain, white ware, the ornamentation on which was indented from an embossed mould, the lines being as fine and delicate as if cut in by the graver so as to have the appearance of chasing; and the lines being filled with glaze, the surface was still even. Another noticeable feature was the clever combination of transfer-printing, hand-painting, enamelling, and gilding, which characterise some of the services.

You sure are giving that Compadre a workout. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I don't have the patience to run the discrimination that low or to thumb the discrimination. I figure I'm going to dig it anyway.

Bro,

This looks more like an archaeological dig. You need to build yourself a sifting tool. I believe you would have a blast doing this. Neat old plate you found and looks like you may be closing in on some treasure.
