18th Century English Creamware Tureen with Pomegranate Finial and Feather Edge

About the Item

This English creamware soup tureen was made circa 1780 during the Georgian era. It features classic Feather Edge decoration around the body, foot, and lid. The lid is topped with a finely modeled pomegranate finial revealing its seeds—a neoclassical symbol of abundance and vitality. Rope-twist handles enhance the oval form. The tureen reflects the refined aesthetic of English creamware, prized for its light body and softly glowing ivory glaze. Dimensions: 11" long x 8" wide x 8" tall Condition: Good with small edge chips restored, and some original light firing marks (see images). Price: $670 Background on Creamware: Creamware is a type of earthenware pottery made from a blend of white clays sourced in Dorset and Devonshire, combined with calcined flint. It was first developed in England sometime before 1740. Among the foremost innovators of this ceramic was Thomas Whieldon of Staffordshire, who produced a wide range of creamware styles and helped establish its popularity. From 1754 to 1759, the young Josiah Wedgwood worked in partnership with Whieldon, gaining valuable experience in refining the material. When Wedgwood launched his own pottery business, he focused immediately on advancing creamware production. His innovations soon elevated creamware to international prominence. Many of the best Staffordshire potters followed Wedgwood's lead, developing their own distinct versions and contributing significantly to the success of creamware across Britain and Europe.
