About the Item

This is a pair of English creamware dishes from the 18th century, created around 1780. The plates display a lovely chinoiserie scene in the Meissen style, with women selecting accessories. The two elegantly dressed women are in conversation. A young child holding a pinwheel looks up and points towards a group of chimes while an older boy stands close by. At the far right, we see another boy seated with a parrot on his arm. Dimensions: 9.5 inches diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $520 for the pair For an image and further discussion, see English Ceramic Circle Transactions, Volume 33, 2023, pp. 133-135, plate 60. History of creamware: Creamware, a type of earthenware with a light-colored body, was first created in the 1760s by Josiah Wedgwood, an English potter. Wedgwood marketed this new product as Queensware after Queen Charlotte ordered a set. Gradually, creamware became more popular, and other English potters began producing it as well. It soon replaced saltglaze stoneware as the preferred dinnerware for everyone except the high aristocracy, who likely used a service of Chinese export porcelain dishes.
