tho queen was highly delighted and gave orders for a tinner service and in token of his gratitude wedgwood called this queens ware lie re ceived commands to call himself by the proud title of potter to her majesty of course both potter and his products became immensely fash ionable when the queen set the style and orders flowered in upon him it is on record that at this time these creamware

tiles for dairies as the management and care of the dairy was a fashionable fad among his aristocratic customers after working on the ware itself and its decoration wedgwood then turned his attention to shapes and from this time on great improvements are noted in the forms of common objects and convenience and the per fection of each piece was studied wedgwoods taste and artistic sense were so
