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 fine condition, free of chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, and restorations. There is one indentation on the face, done in the potting. It is offered to the discriminating collector who is drawn to very early Staffordshire china.
