Platter ca. 1780 Josiah Wedgwood British This platter represents two great inventions of British potters in the eighteenth century: creamware, a durable white earthenware with yellowish glaze, and transfer-printing, a technique that allowed for high-quality decoration at a relatively low cost. Creamware was developed by Staffordshire potters around 1750 as a substitute for porcelain. Lightweight, yet durable, it proved ideal for moderately-priced domestic wares. Josiah Wedgwood achieved commercial success in producing creamware of elegant designs often with transfer-printed decoration. After gaining the patronage of Queen Charlotte, Wedgwood was allowed to use the name Queens ware.[Elizabeth Sullivan, 2014. Platter. British, Staffordshire. ca. 1780.
