Wedgwood ware is a type of pottery first made by the English potter Josiah Wedgwood about 1759. The term Wedgwood ware generally refers to Wedgwood's fine creamware, a cream-colored earthenware. In 1765, Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III, ordered a set of creamware tableware. She was so pleased with it that she allowed Wedgwood to name the pottery Queen's Ware. It is still known and sold by that name.
