It was copied by other potters in England such a Thomas Dimmock. Pearlware is only slightly different in color from creamware and for many years collectors have confused the terms. Only certain colors like blue, yellow, and green were used as underglaze painting for pearlware because materials for other colors could not stand the heat necessary to fire the glaze.
