Wedgwood Creamware Set of Three Baskets, Graduated in Size, England Circa 1830
About the Item
This set of three creamware baskets was made by Wedgwood in England circa 1830.
Each basket is beautifully crafted and slightly larger than the one before, creating a graceful, graduated set.
The baskets are finely molded with a crisp basketwork design around the body, while the openwork rims are delicately pierced.
Each matching stand echoes the pierced motif and features an oval medallion at the center with radiating fluting (see images).
Wedgwood's creamware was celebrated for its pale ivory glaze and refined forms, which are evident in the elegance of these coordinated baskets and stands.
Pierced creamware required exceptional skill in both molding and firing—this set reflects the remarkable craftsmanship for which Wedgwood became renowned.

Smallest basket: 8.25" x 6.25" x 2.25"; stand: 9.5" x 7.75"

Background of Wedgwood Creamware:
Creamware is a type of earthenware pottery made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with calcined flint.
Josiah Wedgwood pioneered creamware in the mid-18th century, developing a lightweight yet durable ceramic body that became highly fashionable across Europe.
Favored by Queen Charlotte of England and continental nobility, Wedgwood's creamware set the standard for refined, neoclassical design.

Wedgwood
Arguably the most celebrated of all English ceramics makers, Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by potter Josiah Wedgwood (1730–95) in Staffordshire, which was home at one time to hundreds of pottery workshops. The company is famed for its Jasperware — molded neoclassical stoneware vases, plates and other pieces inspired by ancient cameo glass, featuring white figures, scenes and decorative elements set in relief on a matte-colored background. The best-known background hue is light blue, but Wedgwood’s iconic silhouettes also appear on green, lilac, yellow, black and even white grounds. Some antique Wedgwood dinnerware pieces and other items feature three or more colors.
The Wedgwood firm first came to prominence for its tableware, which quickly gained favor in aristocratic households throughout Britain and Europe. In 1765, Wedgwood was commissioned to create a cream-colored earthenware service for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. The queen was so thrilled with her new china that Wedgwood was given permission to call himself “Potter to Her Majesty,” and the decorative style became known as Queen’s Ware.
Not to be outdone, Catherine the Great of Russia commissioned her own set of Wedgwood china in 1773. Nearly 200 years later, the firm created a 1,200-piece service for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In recent years, leading designers including Jasper Conran and Vera Wang have collaborated with Wedgwood — in the tradition of such distinguished 18th-century artists such as the painter George Stubbs and metalsmith Matthew Boulton.
From plates and other dinnerware to decorative items like urns, cachepots and candlesticks, Wedgwood designs lend a traditional air to Anglophile interiors. And even if you have to make your own tea, you may find it comforting to sip it from a delicate cup that was manufactured in the same Stoke-on-Trent kiln that produced Her Majesty’s tea service. Be sure to keep your pinky raised.
