Wedgwood Creamware Figural Boat Tureen with Multiple Pots & Lids 26cm

Indulge in the elegance of historic English pottery with this exceptional Wedgwood Creamware figural boat, a highly decorative and functional piece featuring multiple inbuilt pots with original lids. Beautifully modelled as a stylised boat, this refined ceramic centrepiece encapsulates the artistry and innovation that made Wedgwood a leading name in fine pottery.

This charming Creamware boat is more than a decorative object; it is a versatile and conversation-starting piece that would have originally served as a table accessory, likely for condiments, sauces or pickles. Each of the integrated pots is carefully formed and fitted with its own lid, creating a sculptural yet practical design that showcases Wedgwood’s mastery of form and function.

The body is crafted in the classic Creamware for which Wedgwood is world-renowned – a delicately toned, warm ivory earthenware that became the height of fashion in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The surface shows the gentle, understated sheen typical of quality Creamware, offering a soft, refined presence that complements both antique and contemporary interiors.

Condition:

The piece is in good overall condition, particularly impressive given its age and the number of detachable elements. All of the original lids are present, making this a rare complete example. As with most antique Creamware, you may expect minor age-related signs of use or manufacture, such as light surface wear, subtle glaze variations or tiny firing imperfections, all of which are consistent with period production and do not detract from the beauty or display value of the piece. Please refer to the photographs for the best visual description of condition, and feel free to request additional images if required.
