Wedgwood Creamware Inkstand

Creamware is a type of earthenware pottery that was first developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 18th century. It is known for its light cream color and fine quality. This inkstand is boat-shaped, with a swan at one end and a figure resembling a Viking at the other end. The design includes a pattern of grapes, leaves, and vines. In the center, there is an inkwell, and on either side, there are two covered containers. The underside is marked: James Powell & Sons, Whitefriars Glass Works, London, Wedgwood, Etruria. Etruria was the name of the factory established by Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire, England.
