Pierced Creamware Potpourri Vase and Cover England Circa 1785

$960.00

This creamware potpourri vase has a well-executed hand-pierced cover set over a well-proportioned bowl.
The piercing is evenly spaced and cleanly cut, forming a repeating pattern of stylized floral elements.
The proportions are carefully judged, with the height of the dome and width of the body working together to create a balanced profile.
At the center of the cover, the molded rose finial is crisply defined, with petals and leaves modeled in low relief.
It provides a naturalistic contrast to the precision of the pierced design and serves as a grip for the cover.
The creamware body has a soft, warm glaze with slight translucence, which emphasizes the pierced work and fluting.

Background of creamware

Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with calcined flint.
Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740.
Foremost among 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 to 1759.
When Wedgwood left to start his own business, he immediately focused his efforts on developing creamware.
Many of the best Staffordshire Potteries learned from Whieldon and Wedgwood and developed their own creamware products.
