Description: Wedgwood cream ware, or Queen's Ware, large serving platter in the “lag-and-feather” pattern, decorated in sepia and gold. Marked with an impressed "Wedgwood".

History: Creamware is a cream-colored, refined earthenware with a lead glaze over a pale body. It was created about 1750 by the potters of Staffordshire, England, who refined the materials and techniques of salt-glazed earthenware towards a finer, thinner, whiter body with a brilliant glassy lead glaze. It proved so ideal for domestic ware that it supplanted white salt-glaze wares by c 1780. It was popular until the 1840s. The most notable producer of creamware was Josiah Wedgwood, who perfected the ware.
