Antique creamware dish with exquisite tortoiseshell decoration. Though this dish was made in mid-18th century England, circa 1765, it looks strikingly modern.The decoration was made on a buff or cream-colored plate by sponging or dusting dry, powdered, metallic oxides onto the plate after its initial firing. The seemingly contemporary, abstract look was created using colored oxide stains, which ran freely when heated in the kiln. As a result, each piece of tortoiseshell creamware is unique. Creamware with this type of decoration is also known as Whieldon ware. It was developed by the English master potter Thomas Whieldon. Background of Tortoiseshell Decoration on Creamware Tortoiseshell ware is created by dusting or sponging with metallic oxides before glazing the buff-colored creamware body. During the firing, the colors flow to produce the tortoiseshell effect. Thomas Whieldon first mentioned tortoiseshell wares in his Account and Memorandum Book of 1749. In his Experiment Book, Josiah Wedgwood states that in 1759 tortoiseshell ware was the second most important ware when he worked as an apprentice at the Whieldon factory. This example is modeled in a less common color, hues of blue, green and black, almost leopard like markings. Issued: C1765Dimensions: 9.5" dia.Age related wear.

An unusual Staffordshire agateware ball, with brown coloured veining on a white ground, 6cm diameter. Agateware is made from coloured clays which are combined to create the veining of a hard stone such as agate. It was made in Roman times and was popular in 18th century England. The clays were mixed randomly resulting in broad veining. Thomas Whieldon greatly improved agateware in the late 18th century by using white clays stained with metallic oxides; the resulting clay was prone to blurring. Josiah Wedgwood used a process to make onyx or pebbled wares imitating natural agate. Visit www.sworder.co.uk for larger image and condition reports.
