Can anyone help me identify this Davenport pattern? I have several sherds from an archaeological site in Georgia. This piece, the largest, is probably from a gravy boat. There is a cup bottom in the same pattern that has a maker's mark corresponding to Duckworth's "Earthenware E9" (the version with DAVENPORT written on a ribbon draped across the anchor). The cup bottom interior has the same two Asian-style structures bordered by the same flower-and-diamond pattern visible at the top of the gravy boat sherd. A pattern name and any info on dating the pattern would be most welcome! Duckworth's estimate of 1830-1860 for the mark is consistent with other site details, but a tighter range would be helpful.
