Soup Plate c. 1775

This set of creamware porcelain dinnerware, likely made for a wealthy household, showcases the delicate craftsmanship of 18th-century English potters. The set includes a soup tureen, a creamer, a sugar bowl, and six plates, all adorned with understated floral motifs and subtle relief. The creamy white glaze and the elegant curves of the pieces highlight the artistry of the anonymous maker. The simple yet refined aesthetic of the set, known as "creamware," was a popular style in the mid-18th century and reflects the growing middle class's desire for beautiful and functional tableware.
