<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 341622, member: 50&quot;]I was hoping to locate a book I have on Wedgwood, even though not the best book ever, but I can&#039;t locate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So no caneware isn&#039;t the same as creamware. Creamware is basically an light/whitish colored clay with a clear lead glaze. The lead glaze is yellowish to greenish in nature and gives the creamware a warm creamy color that varies from almost white to very warm cream.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pearlware was partially an attempt to make creamware look whiter. Because the lead glaze is yellowish in nature, a bit of cobalt was added to try to counteract the look of the lead. That&#039;s why you&#039;ll often see blue pooling in the crevasses of pearlware and yellow or yellow/green pooling in the crevasses of creamware.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caneware is yellowish tan and I don&#039;t think it&#039;s always glazed.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a lot of information out there on Wedgwood and it&#039;s often quite documented so a little research may come up with more exact info on yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is from the Wedgwood Museum, it is a piece of caneware with your pattern that they date 1810-1820. You may be able to learn more by noodling around their site.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.wedgwoodmuseum.org.uk/collections/search-the-collection/object/caneware-plate-with-japonica-motifs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wedgwoodmuseum.org.uk/collections/search-the-collection/object/caneware-plate-with-japonica-motifs" rel="nofollow">http://www.wedgwoodmuseum.org.uk/collections/search-the-collection/object/caneware-plate-with-japonica-motifs</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]115019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
