FAQs

A creamware bubby pot, also known as a feeding or invalid cup, is a historical ceramic vessel designed with a specific spout for feeding liquids to infants, invalids, or the elderly during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Creamware is a type of refined earthenware developed in England, characterised by a pale yellowish-white lead glaze applied over a fine-grained cream-coloured clay body.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate crazing in the glaze, lightweight potting, minimal or no makers marks for earlier pieces, and hand-thrown or early mould-cast construction details.

These historical vessels add tactile interest and historical depth when displayed on open shelving, within a cabinet of curiosities, or as a focal point on a sideboard.

Creamware should be hand washed gently using mild soap and warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or submersion in water for prolonged periods due to the porous nature of historical earthenware.
