Creamware

Creamware is a cream-coloured, refined earthenware with a lead glaze over a pale body, known in France as faïence fine. It was created about 1750 by the potters of Staffordshire, England, who refined the materials and techniques of salt-glazed earthenware towards a finer, thinner, whiter body with a brilliant glassy lead glaze, which proved so ideal for domestic ware that it supplanted white salt-glaze wares by c 1780. It was popular until the 1840s.
