Such objects drew from the fashionable Rococo shapes of the period and spoke to a taste for naturalism on the table, as expressed by the wide range of trompe-l’oeil wares created in faience and porcelain. Cauliflower wares found a wide audience, and makers such as Josiah Wedgwood, with whom Greatbatch partnered, exported them to various parts of Europe.Other European Earthenware and Stoneware19th and early 20th Century Ceramics[]European CeramicsEnglish Earthenware - Creamware1848019837EnglishUnderglaze blue mark, possibly “VD”
