Ever since the British Middle Class emerged at the time of the industrial revolution people have strived to emulate the royal households by decorating their tables with expensive pottery to excite and impress friends. Leedsware indeed does fall in to this category with many of the 18th and 19th century royal function rooms relying on the splendour of Leedsware to complement and grace the occasion.
This requirement to embellish the appearance of food by presenting it on exclusive dinnerware spilled over in to the downstairs rooms where the simple beauty of Creamware was allowed to be used by servants.
Grace, etiquette
and elegance was the order of the day for the rich in those distant days, this
artistry is not lost in present day pottery manufactured by Hartley Greens. It
is available now from The Pottery Shop at the Worldwide Shopping Mall.
