Creamware
Creamware is a cream-coloured refined earthenware developed by Josiah Wedgwood around 1762. It had declined as a common tableware by circa 1820 when it was replaced by the more popular whiter-bodied ware known as pearlware. Eight thousand seven hundred and ninety-three creamware specimens were recovered from the Central Trust Site. The majority of these are rim and base sherds representing a variety vessel forms. Some dinner plate rim types found at Central Trust are shown in the photo on the right:
- Top - plain rim
- Middle - Feather-edge
- Bottom left - Queen's Shape
- Bottom right - Royal Pattern
