Antique 18th-century Creamware Large Feather-edged Oval Dish, 1780-1800

Antique 18th-century Creamware Large Feather-edged Oval Dish, 1780-1800.

The sophisticated, elegant deep plain creamware oval dish has a moulded feather edge rim.  This is a particularly large example.

Dimensions: 18 1/2 inches wide x 13 1/2 inches deep x 1 3/4 inches high.

In 1765, Wedgwood developed a new rim design using relief-molded fronds. The new rim pattern was termed feather-edged. The pattern was produced at the same time in white salt-glaze stoneware. (See Noel Hume 1976: 124-125, and South 1977: 212)

Creamware was developed by Josiah Wedgwood in 1762. It was later dubbed Queen's ware, but it is now known simply as creamware ... . The earlier pieces are a deeper yellow than later examples, and the difference is significant after c.1780. The creamware lead glaze appears yellow or green in crevices on ceramic vessels. Creamware was one of the most common tablewares in the second half of the 18th century, and was used for a variety of vessel types. Decorative techniques include edged wares, hand-painted and transfer-printed
