Can anyone identify this ceramic shard I found in Southern Mozambique?

by Crystal Osler
(Maputo, Maputo Province, Mozambique )

Blue and white ceramic shard with one finished side and 3 exposed sides. The blue is slightly saturated but not as noticeable as with blue flow ceramic patterns. Roughly 3.5cm x 3.5cm. Ceramic shards are a common find along the coast in the northern regions of Mozambique. Mozambique is an ex colony of Portugal.

According to my knowledge, that looks like an
artifact from the Blouberg War (around 1802 +/-)
these are extraordinary finds (I must admit),
because these are virtually impossible to find in
the whole of Mozambique (unless you found it near a
tidal area, for it may have been swept to the
location you found it in by strong rip currents),
though I did find mine in the Western Cape, Cape
Town in an area far from large bodies of water and
are almost identical (they are 100%) to yours,


KIND REGARDS,
