yellowware

Cream-colored kitchen pottery

Yellowware is a type of earthenware pottery with a distinctive yellow or buff-colored body, made from naturally occurring yellow clay.

Produced mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was used for everyday kitchen items like mixing bowls, crocks, and baking dishes.

Yellowware often features simple banded decorations in white or brown: a stack of antique yellowware bowls.
