Tea and coffee arrived in Britain in the middle of the seventeenth century. The East India Company brought delicate porcelain teapots and tea bowls from China. The growing fashion for tea drinking in mid eighteenth century inspired the British and European potters to emulate the Chinese teawares.

Bow, Worcester, Chelsea, Pomona , Bristol, Liverpool, Caughley, Lowestoft, Longton Hall and Derby led the way but at the beginning the cups were without handles and called tea bowls.

Josiah Wedgwood (1730 -95) set up his own pottery in Burslem in 1759. From 1754 Wedgwood developed stoneware and earthenware. The most popular of which was creamware. This was a cream coloured clay body with a cream coloured glaze. The company continues today and has been bought by Portmerion in Wales.
