About the Item
This beautiful early 19th-century Wedgwood pearlware centerpiece is paired with its original matching tray.
Both pieces are hand-painted in a vivid Imari-style palette of cobalt blue, iron red, soft green, and gilt highlights.
The ground is painted a pale terracotta color, delicately patterned with rows of tiny beige circles, creating a textured and visually rich backdrop for the floral and foliate designs.
The footed centerpiece features twin gilt handles and rests on a broad pedestal base, and the tray is decorated to match, offering a unified and elegant presentation.
This form is also referred to as a compote or fruit stand. It was popular in English ceramics during the Regency and early Victorian eras.
The set bears an impressed "WEDGWOOD" mark and was made circa 1820.

Background of Pearlware:
Pearlware was first created in the mid-18th century and first became popular around 1780.
It is distinct from creamware due to its blue-tinged glaze, which is produced by using cobalt to whiten the glaze of the creamware.
Josiah Wedgwood developed and popularized pearlware to provide an alternative to Chinese porcelain, which is whiter than Wedgwood's creamware.

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.
