A faintly yellow earthenware with transparent lead glaze.

Cream coloured earthenware pottery; Wedgwood perfected the form.

A refined white earthenware, opaque, lead-glazed with a noticeable yellow cast with concentrated yellow or yellow-green glaze puddling at foot rings or other places where the liquid glaze could collect before firing. Found plain, pierced, painted both over- and underglaze, and likewise printed. Developed in the mid 18th century, creamware was further refined and improved by Josiah Wedgwood, whose marketing sense did so much to establish creamware as the epitome of fashion.
