Queen’s Plain service 1776
 

Wedgwood has an unparalleled heritage. Founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood, the visionary inventor known as the 'Father of the English Potters', Josiah lead the meteoric rise of Staffordshire potteries in the second half of the 18th century. Josiah perfected the renowned cream ware formula of clay securing the patronage of Queen Charlotte and wittily appointing himself 'Potter to Her Majesty and Vase Maker to the Universe'.

The gentle flutes and scallops of this range, coupled with its signature cream colour, make for a sumptuous table, and the soup cup and saucer is a particular delight. This really does take us back to the days of fine dining at home, a million miles away from tv dinners eaten on laps, yet with its soft and subtle finish it escapes being overly grand, heavy or pretentious.

Wedgwoods Queen’s ware is dishwasher and microwave safe.
