creamware

Off-white ceramic ware

Creamware is a type of refined earthenware with a pale cream-colored glaze, developed in 18th-century England.

Lighter and more elegant than earlier pottery, it became popular for everyday tableware and remained fashionable through the early 19th century: The museum displays Georgian creamware alongside fine porcelain.
