Due to the Coronovirus, many of the Museum staff were placed on furlough, and we have only in the course of the last couple of days returned to work - it&#039;s nice to be back!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am afraid however that the Museum is still shut, and as a result, we are working from home, so we do have limited resources. The white ones that you have seen are made of Queen&#039;s Ware, which is our name for white-ish creamy earthenware. That yellower version that you have is in fact a different ceramic body entirely, it&#039;s called caneware. I have had a look in our collections online to show you a plate in the same sort of caneware, but with a different decoration. <a href="http://www.wedgwoodmuseum.org.uk/collections/search-the-collection/object/caneware-trilobite-dish-with-hand-painted-purple-lustre" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wedgwoodmuseum.org.uk/collections/search-the-collection/object/caneware-trilobite-dish-with-hand-painted-purple-lustre" rel="nofollow">http://www.wedgwoodmuseum.org.uk/collections/search-the-collection/object/caneware-trilobite-dish-with-hand-painted-purple-lustre</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the impressed Wedgwood stamp across the bottom, I suspect that it was probably made c. 1930.</p><p><br /></p><p>All best wishes, especially in the current situation,</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucy Lead</p><p><br /></p><p>Archivist</p><p><br /></p><p>The Wedgwood Musuem[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
