Pair Wedgwood Creamware Baskets & Stands with Pierced Openwork England Ca. 1820

$1,400.00

This pair of Wedgwood creamware baskets and stands is defined by its crisp design, with finely cut arcaded piercing and a continuous pearled border.
The eye is drawn to the rim, where the arcaded piercing and pearled border define the outline of each basket.
Below the pearled border, the body is molded with a basketweave pattern that adds texture and reinforces the clarity of the form.
The baskets sit securely on their matching stands, completing the intended presentation.
Each piece is impressed with the Wedgwood mark, and the pair remains intact with both baskets and stands.
The precision of the piercing, the consistency of the pale ivory glaze, and the survival of all four pieces make this an excellent set.

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 before 1740.
Thomas Whieldon was the foremost pioneer of creamware in the Staffordshire potteries.
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 developing creamware.
