Whieldon glazed teapot in wonderful condition. 18th century Whieldon wares are easily distinguished by the sponged colors that give the ceramic a clouded or tortoise shell appearance. Whieldon wares are decorated in colors such as brown, green, purple and yellow that were created by using combinations of metallic oxides. The term Whieldon ware might be a bit misleading since other potters besides Whieldon were producing the decorative creamware. These wares were created in the second half of the 18th century.
