Summary
Tea and coffee service
England, Staffordshire, about 1775
Two of England\'s contributions to ceramic history were creamware and transfer-printing, which revolutionised ceramic decoration worldwide. Creamware was cheap, durable and well-suited to dinner and tea services. It was hugely popular between 1765 and 1820. Transfer-printing, perfected around 1750, enabled manufacturers to achieve high-quality decoration at a low cost.
Made at Josiah Wedgwood\'s factory; transfer-printed in Liverpool by Guy Green (died 1799)
Creamware, transfer printed in enamel
Given by Lady Charlotte Shreiber
