This is a pair of English creamware dishes from the 18th century, created around 1785. The plates display a lovely chinoiserie scene with women selecting accessories. The scene depicts two elegantly dressed women in conversation, a young child holding a pinwheel, looking up and pointing 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.

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.
