*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.
