About the Item

This exquisite pair of Wedgwood blue and white Mared pattern soup tureens was made in England circa 1840. The design features a loop of delicate "pearls" encircling the center, complemented by a beautiful blue shell edge. The rippled surface of the shell edge adds visual interest as light plays across it (see images). Josiah Wedgwood supervised the creation of this pattern in the latter half of the 18th century. Similar to our set, the original 18th-century Mared pattern was made of pearlware, also known as pearled creamware. Blue enamel was applied for decoration, and the pearlware was then glazed with a slightly blue-tinted glaze to permanently seal the design. This glazing protects the decoration from scratches, flaking, and general wear, keeping it as fresh today as when it was first applied. The tureens would look fabulous on a side table in a dining room. Marks: The reverse of both the underplates and the tureens features the impressed "WEDGWOOD" mark of the period. Dimensions: The tureens measure 12 inches across the handles, 8.5 inches wide, and 7 inches tall. Condition: Excellent Price: $3,600 **Background on Pearlware:** Josiah Wedgwood developed and popularized pearlware as an alternative to Chinese porcelain, which is whiter than Wedgwood's creamware. Pearlware was first created in the mid-18th century and became popular around 1780. It is distinct from creamware due to its blue-tinged glaze, produced by using cobalt to whiten the creamware.

Josiah Wedgwood

Arguably the most celebrated of all English ceramics makers, Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by potter Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire, which was home at one time to hundreds of pottery workshops.

Wedgwood is famed for its Jasperware — molded neoclassical stoneware vases, plates and other pieces inspired by ancient cameo glass, featuring white figures, scenes and decorative elements set in relief on a matte-colored background. The best-known background hue is light blue, but Wedgwood’s iconic silhouettes also appear on green, lilac, yellow, black and even white grounds. Some antique Wedgwood dinnerware pieces and other items feature three or more colors. The company is also known for its black stoneware, Black Basalt, which imitates the color and shapes of Etruscan vases.

The Wedgwood firm first came to prominence for its tableware, which quickly gained favor in aristocratic households throughout Britain and Europe. In 1765, Wedgwood was commissioned to create a cream-colored earthenware service for Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III. The queen was so thrilled with her new china that Wedgwood was given permission to call himself “Potter to Her Majesty,” and the decorative style became known as Queen’s Ware.

Not to be outdone, Catherine the Great of Russia commissioned her own set of Wedgwood china in 1773. Nearly 200 years later, the firm created a 1,200-piece service for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In recent years, leading designers including Jasper Conran and Vera Wang have collaborated with Wedgwood — in the tradition of such distinguished 18th-century artists such as the painter George Stubbs and metalsmith Matthew Boulton.

From plates and other dinnerware to decorative items like urns, cachepots and candlesticks, Wedgwood designs lend a traditional air to Anglophile interiors. And even if you have to make your own tea, you may find it comforting to sip it from a delicate cup that was manufactured in the same Stoke-on-Trent kiln that produced Her Majesty’s tea service. Be sure to keep your pinky raised.
