History of creamware:
Creamware, a type of earthenware with a light-colored body, was first created in the 1760s by Josiah Wedgwood, an English potter. Wedgwood marketed this new product as Queensware after Queen Charlotte ordered a set. Gradually, creamware became more popular, and other English potters began producing it as well. It soon replaced saltglaze stoneware as the preferred dinnerware for everyone except the high aristocracy, who likely used a service of Chinese export porcelain dishes.This is a pair of English creamware dishes from the 18th century, created around 1780.
