I found this piece of pottery on a field that has thrown up everything from roman to modern. Can someone help with a date range?

Take a look at Buckley black glazed pottery, very similar fabric and glaze.

Pottery gets absolutely everywhere, through manuring etc. like plastic does today

Thanks for your help . Didn’t think it was too old because it’s in quite good nick . There were other fragments that were white . The area is a good half mile from any buildings and no buildings on old maps dating back to 1806.

Good morning . Sorry if this is not allowed but please could somebody help age this pottery. It was in a recent hole I dug that had a lead spoon in. I dug 8 inch down to find like smal paving that sounded hollow . At first I thought I’d found a chamber but to no avail there were other strange metal items that look like scrap but are shaped like they formed a skirt? I’ve no idea on pottery thankyou

The orange piece is a modern drainage pipe, hence the curve, I find them all the time.

Whilst detecting today I came across the following pieces two of which look like tiles and one a pottery piece. I'd appreciate any pointers on what period they are from, and whether they are tiles/pottery! In the small south Dorset field they were found I have found bronze age stators, Roman coins and artefacts, medieval, Georgian and modern.
The two 'tiles' are on the left of the photo and about 6-7mm thick, the more terracotta piece is curved and around 13-4mm thick.
Any pointers appreciated, thank you.

[brown salt Glazed stoneware
Still made so unless there is a makers mark they are undatabe
Most likely 1900s I have seen one with salads dreesing on the side
Or if you beleive ebay a victorian ink bottle
You can often find them in the ditches around fields, here's some I have picked up
