Set Eight Wedgwood Dinner Plates Mared Pattern Made England Circa 1840

$1,560.00

This set of eight blue and white dinner plates is painted in Wedgwood’s Mared pattern.
The pattern is characterized by a beautiful shell edge and a loop of “pearls” encircling the center of the plate ( see images)
Josiah Wedgwood supervised the creation of this pattern in the second half of the 18th century.
Initially, the Mared pattern was made on Wedgwood pearlware.
Later, around 1825, the pattern began to be produced on whiteware*.
These eight dishes made in whiteware were created circa 1840.
The blue paint was applied, and the plates were then glazed to seal the design permanently.
This protected the plates from scratches, flaking, and general wear, keeping the decoration as fresh today as when it was first applied.
The plates are marked on the reverse with the impressed “WEDGWOOD” mark (see last image).

*Background of Wedgwood Pearlware and Whiteware:
Late 18th-century English potters experimented with different techniques to create ceramics that could have the glass-like appearance of Chinese porcelain.
They discovered that adding cobalt could achieve the blue-tinted glaze found on early Chinese porcelains.
This ware goes by a few names: pearl white, China glaze, and pearlware. Pearlware appears as early as 1775.
Josiah Wedgwood introduced his “pearl white” wares in 1779.
Over time, the use of cobalt decreased. As cobalt use decreased, pearlware faded, and around 1825, whiteware began to emerge.
