Origins of Josiah Wedgwood's "Pearlware,”
this specific type of plate is part of Wedgwood's "Leafage series" and was briefly made in full color during the late 1800s, featuring a large cabbage leaf on a basket weave rim.
Pearlware, introduced by Josiah Wedgwood in 1779, is an earthenware ceramic with a slightly bluish-white lead glaze.
These hand-enameled cabbage leaf plates are considered scarce, as the mold is more commonly found in solid green or all white versions.
