<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 2392089, member: 50&quot;]I&#039;m not sure where the term &quot;silver shape&quot; came from but I&#039;ve heard it used. I think it&#039;s just a way to describe that the popular ceramics of a time period were following in the same shapes as the popular silver of that period.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did go back and look through Robert&#039;s book <i>Painted in Blue</i> and can&#039;t find any reference to a maker of the tea jar or any other information about it. It was in a section about range and diversity for items that didn&#039;t fit in the other chapters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still not sure it&#039;s pearlware but I did wonder if it might be a version of this pattern that she&#039;s calling &quot;Queens Blue&quot;. This particular example of that pattern is from Spode but there are other makers. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]262858[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought my copy of the book directly from the Northern Ceramic Society so you might look there for a copy if you decide you want one and don&#039;t find it elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>My creamware caddy is battered like so many of my ceramics.

It&#039;s an old Wedgwood one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
