Wedgwood Queensware Creamware Painted Diced Dish c.1800, 20cm Antique

Indulge in the quiet luxury of early 19th-century English ceramics with this exceptional Wedgwood Queensware creamware painted diced dish, circa 1800. A beautifully preserved example of Georgian-period tableware, this fine piece showcases the refined elegance, lightness, and artistry that made Wedgwood the preferred choice of royalty and the European elite.

Crafted in Wedgwood’s celebrated Creamware “Queensware” body—the very ware that earned the patronage of Queen Charlotte—this dish combines historical significance with timeless aesthetic appeal. The surface displays a painted diced pattern, delicately executed by hand, adding texture and visual interest while maintaining the understated sophistication characteristic of early Wedgwood design.

Measuring approximately 20cm in diameter, this versatile dish is perfectly sized for elegant table presentation or display. Whether used as a serving dish on a refined dining table or showcased in a cabinet among other fine ceramics, it offers a harmonious balance of form, function, and decorative charm.

The creamware body is a warm, soft ivory tone, designed to enhance the colours and fine detail of the painted decoration. The diced pattern is arranged with precision, reflecting the meticulous workmanship and high standards of Wedgwood’s early production. The piece sits gracefully, with a pleasing weight in the hand, and a smooth, silky glaze that speaks to the quality of the firing and finish.

Condition is excellent for its age, with great condition throughout as noted—no obvious cracks or major restoration visible on inspection. Only the light, expected signs of age and use may be present, entirely consistent with a piece of fine creamware over 200 years old. This well-preserved state makes it especially desirable for collectors seeking original, unspoiled examples of early Wedgwood.
