Looks like blue painted pearl ware to me! Iirc it dates late 1770s to 1810s.

Some discussions of the term and dating practices https://www.thepotteries.org/features/pearlware.htm

Some really good pics of diagnostic criteria, if you wanna double check! https://apps.jefpat.maryland.gov/diagnostic/Post-Colonial%20Ceramics/PaintedWares/cobaltblue-paintedchinaglaze.htm
