About the Item
This is a mid-18th-century creamware dish with exquisite tortoiseshell decoration.
Made in England circa 1765, the plate is decorated in brown, green, and gold hues.
The tortoiseshell decoration, also known as Whieldon ware, was developed by the English master potter Thomas Whieldon.
To create this seemingly contemporary, abstract look, dry powdered metallic oxides were dusted onto the buff or cream-colored plate after its initial firing.
The colored oxide stains ran freely when heated in the kiln.
As a result, each piece of tortoiseshell creamware is unique.
The plate was molded in a press, which created a raised scalloped design on the edge.
Saltglaze and creamware plates with this edge were used in Colonial America and were found at Colonial Williamsburg.*
Dimensions: 9.25" diameter
Condition: Very good with fine light craquelure in the glaze
Price: $580
* See Salt-Glazed Stoneware in Early America by J Skerry and S F Hood, pg 232 Pattern F2. Dept Arch. Res., 17GA-0090
Background of Whieldon Ware:
Thomas Whieldon first mentioned tortoiseshell wares in his Account and Memorandum Book of 1749.
According to Josiah Wedgwood's Experiment Book, in 1759, tortoiseshell ware was the second most popular ware during his apprenticeship at the Whieldon factory.

Antique Wedgwood Creamware Charger Geometric Border England Circa 1785
By Wedgwood
Located in Katonah, NY
This elegant Wedgwood charger was made in England in the late 18th century, circa 1785.
Crafted from creamware, the charger features a meticulously painted geometric border composed of orange and black flowerheads set within a lattice of fine black lines. Each flowerhead is centered in a diamond-shaped cell, creating a repeating pattern that radiates rhythm and precision.

This is an early 19th century porcelain Plate or desert dish with a molded wavy edge to the rim, made by one of the quality Staffordshire, English potteries and dating from the George 111rd period, circa 1820 to 1830.
This piece is unmarked to the base but it is very well hand painted and we believe it is from one of the high quality English makers such as Coalport, Davenport or Samuel Alcock.
Either way this piece is a beautifully hand decorated with a striking, bold and very colourful pattern.
