Wedgwood Creamware Plate Hand Painted Purple Flower England c1765
$380.00This Wedgwood creamware plate, made in England circa 1765, is hand-painted with a finely drawn purple flower at the center, surrounded by a delicate neoclassical garland border.
This plate is part of Wedgwood’s early creamware production.
The creamware has a soft, luminous warmth that allows the enamel painting to read clearly.
The central flower is rendered in a rich purple tone, with careful shading through the petals and a naturalistic lift in the leaves, giving the composition both clarity and movement.
The border introduces a different rhythm.
A repeating chain of berries and elongated pendants moves around the rim, following the gentle undulation of the scalloped edge.
The thin dark purple line at the rim defines the form cleanly and gives the plate a finished edge.
The combination of restrained painting in the central flower and controlled border ornament reflects the shift from Rococo toward neoclassical taste in the mid-18th century.
Balance and spacing begin to replace earlier, denser decorative styles.
Wedgwood pieces of this type rely on proportion and surface quality, and this example holds that balance well.
Attribution to the Wedgwood decorator James Bakewell is consistent with the style of monochrome botanical painting seen here, particularly in the handling of the purple enamel and the naturalistic floral study.
As expected for this early date, the plate is unmarked.Dimensions: 9.75 inches diameter
Condition: Excellent with tiny flaws in the 18th-century creamware
Decoration: Hand-painted purple botanical with neoclassical garland border
Material: Creamware pottery
Style: Early Neoclassical, Georgian
Origin: England, Staffordshire, Wedgwood

Pair of Small English Pierced Creamware Baskets Early 19th Century

A delicate beaded rim finishes each basket with quiet precision.

The oval basket has an elongated shape that contrasts nicely with the round basket’s symmetry.

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.
