Hi GroundSweeper! Yes, stoneware is the correct term for your broken bottles. They definitely are old, in the upper photo, the middle example with the more flared lip dates from the late 1860's up until the mid 1880's or so. The example on the left with the more tapered collared top is just a bit newer, dating from the late 1880's until about 1900. Many of these held Ginger Beer or other beverages, and were often ballast on the old sailing ships coming over from England / Scotland etc. The bottles and other products were offloaded here in America, and the ships' holds filled with goods from America to head back to Europe. These stoneware bottles were often reused by American bottling companies who would put their paper label on the bottle. Hope this is of help, and they are certainly original and old!
