Wedgwood Queen’s Ware
Light, pale creamware for ordinary tables – industry’s first great mass-produced service.
Wedgwood was allowed to call his creamware Queen’s Ware after an order from Queen Charlotte in 1765. He sold it through a catalogue and showrooms, making fine porcelain-like ware cheap. Examples are in the Wedgwood Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
