Neoclassical English Creamware Oval Platter Green & Black Leaf Border Ca. 1820

$300.00

This neoclassical English creamware oval platter dates to circa 1820.
It is decorated with a disciplined border of alternating green and black stylized leaf motifs, arranged in a repeating pattern around the rim.
The decoration was laid out using a stencil or guide and then hand-painted, an efficient workshop practice in English creamware production of this period.
The contrast between the deep black and fresh green is particularly effective against the warm ivory tone of the creamware body.
The platter bears an impressed Spode mark on the reverse, firmly placing it within one of England’s most important ceramic manufactories at a moment when Spode was at the forefront of both technicalrefinement and design.
Creamware of this quality was intended for well-appointed tables and remains highly versatile today.
This platter is a remarkable piece for its elegance and the precision of its execution.

Background of Wedgwood Creamware

Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with an amount of calcined flint. Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740. Foremost of the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire potteries was Thomas Whieldon. He created a wide variety of creamware. The young Josiah Wedgwood was in partnership with Thomas Whieldon from 1754-1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to develop creamware. Many of the Staffordshire potteries learned from Whieldon and Wedgwood and developed their own creamware product.
