“It will alw ays remain to Wedgwood’s credit 
that he was the most successful and original 
potter the world has ever seen the only one, 
through all the centuries, of whom it can he 
truthfully said that the whole suhsequent 
course of pottery manufacture has been in¬ 
fluenced by his skill.” Encyclopedia Britannica 
One of the greatest achievements of Josiah 
Wedgwood was in the development of cream- 
colored ware, or “Queen’s Ware,” which he 
brought to perfection in 1761. So highly 
esteemed was this ware that, in 1763, Wedg¬ 
wood was commissioned to make a special 
Service for Queen Charlotte of England, and 
ten years later a dinner service of about two 
thousand pieces for Empress Catherine II of 
Russia. 
That “Queen’s Ware,” after one hundred 
and sixty years, has lost none of its original 
popularity may he attributed in part to its 
rare beauty, and in part to its extremely 
serviceable quality. 
“Queen’s Ware,” like many other Wedgwood 
products, has been widely copied and imitated 
and tbe purchaser should always make sure 
that the ware is stamped with the genuine 
mark of Wedgwood.
