Antique 18th-Century Creamware Large Feather-edged Oval Dishes.

A Pair.

1780-1800.

The deep plain creamware oval dish has a moulded feather edge rim.

Dimensions: 14 inches x 11 inches x 1 3/4 inches high.

In 1765, Wedgewood developed a new rim design using relief-moulded 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 Wedgewood in 1762. It was later dubbed "Queen's ware," but it is now known simply as creamware or "Leeds ware." The earlier pieces are a deeper yellow than later examples, and the difference is significant after circa 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 (https://www.smu.ca/academics/departments/anthropology-creamware.html).
