Antique Creamware Pottery
Creamware, which became Europe's greatest contribution to ceramics, evolved from these traditional Staffordshire wares. It was probably first introduced soon after 1720 and in its earliest form was composed of the same ingredients as white salt-glaze - namely, white clay from Devonshire and calcined flint. The ware was low-fired to form an earthenware and glazed with lead instead of being high-fired to form a stoneware and glazed with salt as with the white salt-glazed stoneware from which it sprang. The two wares were thus intimately related and were usually produced by the same potters. The "Cream-coloured earthenware" was at first dusted in its unfired state with dry lead ore in powder-form (galena) mixed with ground flint and given its one and only firing.The glaze produced in this way was extremely brilliant and of a somewhat golden tinge.
