Creamware Heart Shaped Dish England Late 18th Century Made by Wedgwood and Co
About the Item
The first popular use of the heart shape as a symbol of love is often attributed to the importance of courtly romance in late-medieval life.
At a time when chivalrous knights and damsels in distress made for romantic tales, tokens of love were deeply significant and very popular
This creamware heart-shaped dish was made in late 18th century England, circa 1790 by Wedgwood & Co.*
The decoration is elegant: a floral swag of green, blue, and orange echoes the heart shape of the dish.
The border is decorated with cobalt blue dots, accentuating the dish's outline.
At the center is a single small flower.
With its warm creamware body and elegant decoration, this would also be a perfect "Hello" dish when placed near the front door of the home.
It would also prove useful for holding keys and other small things.
The underside of the dish is marked WEDGWOOD & Co.
Dimensions: 10.5" across x 7.5" from point to top x 1.5" deep
Condition: Excellent with very small original firing defects in the creamware material, which can be seen when the images are enlarged.
Price: $240
*In the Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks, Geoffrey Godden states
Good quality creamwares of the 1790-1800 period occur with this impressed mark (WEDGWOOD & Co.)
Godden says, "These wares were probably made by Ralph Wedgwood & Co. at the Hill Works, Burslem, before 1796."
The mark went out of use in 18101.
Background of Wedgwood & Co. Creamware: Creamware is cream-colored, refined earthenware. It was created in the mid-1700s by the potters of Staffordshire, England. Foremost of the pioneers of creamware was Thomas Whieldon. He invented a wide variety of decorations for creamware. The young Josiah Wedgwood was in partnership with Thomas Whieldon from 1754 to 1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to develop creamware. Other potters, including Ralph Wedgwood, followed Josiah Wedgwood in manufacturing creamware.
