Dug up in Central NJ.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Is the pattern familiar?
Fingers crossed for some info ~

Just wondering about its diameter, size. Is it a flat piece or is it a bowl?
11"
Flat like a plate with slightly curved edge.
: )
Pennsylvania redware
definitely redware, but why Pennsylvania? NJ is well known for high quality clay.
IDK, that's just what I've always known it as. I think the majority of that stuff came from Pennsylvania? I don't know much about it
Would this have been made by Native Americans?
Any idea of the year(s)?
I am sure glad someone identified this. I was worried about that bead on the back that looks like a wire fed weld.
Nooo, its not by native Americans. Its an old American ware. Now that you know what its called, go do some Googling and see if you can date it yourself. Researching is the fun part! You learn a lot too. Now you'll always know what this stuff is called
It does appear to have been restored. Looks like it was broken in half
what a great redware plate!!! i love it!
Thanks so much!
