Miniature Child’s Wedgwood Creamware Dish from the Zorensky Collection, c. 1765

A charming miniature dish from a child’s dinner service, made in creamware. The sticker on the back reveals it came from the Zorensky Collection. The Wedgwood backstamp is uneven, suggesting it was made by individual typeset. This dates the dish to between 1759 and 1769. There is also an M or W impress mark.

The dish is excellent condition with no cracks or restoration.

Creamware 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 was Josiah Wedgwood who perfected the ware. He supplied creamware to Queen Charlotte and Catherine the Great, using the trade name Queen‘s ware.
