Pottery in 18th/19thC farmland East Sussex

The land behind my house has been farmland for at least a few hundred years, and part of my house is the original farmhouse from I think 1830ish. I have started detecting and field walking and found this piece of pottery. Is it possible to identify what type and age it is?

▲ 122 r/gaslands

My local supermarket’s HotWheels was very Gaslands themed today!

All on a 3 for 2 deal as well. I got a bit carried away, especially as I have never played gaslands!

▲ 5 r/ants

Found this big dude in the tropical plant section. About 11mm body length, 20mm overall. Much larger than any UK natives I know of! I couldn’t find any others or where it came from. Any ideas?

Roughly 11mm head and body length, 20mm legs and antennae included. Found on the ground in the tropical section of a plant nursery in south east United Kingdom. I highly suspect it has come in on a plant, though I could not see any others (or I would have bought the plant they were in!). Our largest native worker ants are Formica Rufa but this appears larger. The lines on the paper are spaced 8mm apart for scale.
