What is cream ware?

Creamware is a type of refined earthenware pottery that was developed in England during the 18th century. It is a light, creamy-colored ceramic material that was popular for both functional and decorative objects. Creamware was first produced by Josiah Wedgwood, who invented a process for mass-producing the pottery using a white clay body that was fired at a lower temperature than other types of earthenware. The result was a thinner, lighter ceramic with a smooth, polished surface that was ideal for painting and decoration.

Creamware was used for a wide range of domestic objects, including plates, cups, bowls, and serving dishes. It was also popular for decorative items like figurines, vases, and urns. Creamware became increasingly popular during the early 19th century, and was widely exported throughout Europe and North America. Today, creamware is still produced by a number of specialist potters, and is highly prized by collectors for its beauty and historical significance.
