Italian creamware represented a shift towards more refined ceramic production, moving away from the more rustic forms of earthenware that had previously dominated. 

The commercial success of creamware, including English versions, affected the production and sales of other Italian ceramics, leading to a shift in the market.

This vintage pair of topiary lemons, elegantly stacked on a pedestal bowl, creates a visually striking and captivating display. The lemons serve as decorative lids for pedestal bowls with a cut-out border. Their neutral cream color makes them perfect in any setting! Purchased in France. See less
