Pair of English Wedgwood Creamware Plates
$475.00 for pair
Creamware is earthenware pottery made from a combination of white clay and calcined flint. It is marked by a distinct cream color, almost like light butter, and was first produced in England around 1740. An important attribute that is appealing to creamware is that it is lightweight and clean, making it ideal to be used domestically. It also serves decorative purposes well when using the hand-painting and transfer printing methods.
Our pair of 19th century English Creamware Plates are quite charming in design. Set on a white background, they are decorated with peonies, prunus, and rocks which resonate throughout the design. Creamware emulated Chinese porcelain and our pair of plates definitely have an Oriental feeling to them. There is a glaze star on the back of one plate.
