Label TextCream colored ware or “Queen’s ware” is a refined, lead-glazed earthenware widely popular in the second half of the 18th century. English potters produced it in quantity and American consumers eagerly purchased it. Creamware was widely used by wealthy residents of the Chesapeake, including Virginia’s Royal Governor. It remained popular in the region even after the Revolution, as evidenced by these fragments of dishes that were part of a custom ordered and monogramed service made for Philip and Anne Barraud of Williamsburg in 1783.
