Whieldon Creamware Tortoiseshell Plate 18th Century England, Circa 1765
$580.00This is a mid-18th-century creamware dish with exquisite tortoiseshell decoration. Made in England circa 1765, the plate is decorated in brown, green, and gold hues. The tortoiseshell decoration, also known as Whieldon ware, was developed by the English master potter Thomas Whieldon. To create this seemingly contemporary, abstract look, dry powdered metallic oxides were dusted onto the buff or cream-colored plate after its initial firing. The colored oxide stains ran freely when heated in the kiln. As a result, each piece of tortoiseshell creamware is unique. The plate was molded in a press, which created a raised scalloped design on the edge. Saltglaze and creamware plates with this edge were used in Colonial America and were found at Colonial Williamsburg.*
Dimensions: 9.25″ diameter
Condition: Very good with fine light craquelure in the glaze

History of creamware:
Creamware, a type of earthenware with a light-colored body, was 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 pottealso began producing itell. 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. -

Odd Fellows Creamware Pitcher Very Large England Circa 1850
$1,640.00This very large creamware pitcher is fully decorated with the imagery and symbols of the Odd Fellows (see images).
