Wedgwood Shell Edge Cream on Grey Dinner Plate

The gray color in Wedgwood‘s Queensware was introduced in the late 18th century,
around the 1770s.
This color was developed as part of Josiah Wedgwood‘s ongoing innovations in ceramics,
aiming to create pieces that mimicked the appearance of more expensive stoneware and porcelain.
The gray variant became popular for its subtle elegance and versatility, complementing the original
creamy white Queensware while expanding the range of styles available.

There are no cracks or chips, and there is no crazing present.
The piece shows minimal signs of use.
However, there is some slight discoloration on the relief decorations of the grape clusters and leaves.

This is a truly rare item. The gray color is quite hard to find these days, and the wrinkled design is
even more difficult to come by.
Its a unique piece for collectors
