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, which proved so ideal for domestic ware that it supplanted white salt-glaze wares by c 1780. Refined by Josiah Wedgwood, in 1762, he referred to it as "Queens" ware, due to its popularity with both Queen Charlotte and Catherine the Great. It was popular until the 1840s.
