A rare set of seven 18th century Whieldon Tortoiseshell creamware plates produced by Thomas Whieldon of Fenton Low, Stoke-on-Trent, England. Whieldon created the tortoiseshell effect by adding copper and manganese powders to cream-colored earthenware. The colors didn't appear until fired and no two are alike.
In extraordinarily fine condition with no chips, cracks, stains or restoration. Plates show only minimal traces of use; the glaze remains lustrous and the colors vibrant.
England, circa mid 18th century.
Whieldon commenced potting in 1740 and was one of the leading potters of his day. He had a great influence on other famous potters including Josiah Wedgwood I who partnered with him from 1754 until 1759. Whieldon ceased manufacturing around 1780.
