Here is an early creamware soup plate measuring 9 inches wide by 2 inches tall. On first glance, one might think this a 19th Century white ironstone rimmed soup, but upon closer inspection, its creamware body makes clear that it quite a bit earlier.
It is in excellent condition, free of chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, and restorations. It is offered to the discriminating collector who is drawn to very early Staffordshire china.
