Creamware is a cream-colored earthenware with a transparent glaze. Having a light and fine body it offered the perfect surface for the Neo-classical decoration fashionable in the late 18th century. It was developed by Josiah Wedgwood around 1760. It was extremely successful and rapidly replaced the tin-glazed wares which were so prone to chipping. Wedgwood changed the name of his creamware to "Queensware" when Queen Charlotte ordered a set from his factory. Creamware was also made at Leeds, Derby and in Staffordshire.
