At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century, mass produced plates, bowls, cups, and saucers began to appear in Europe. An English potter, Josiah Wedgewood was the first to begin producing popular earthenware. Mass produced dinnerware came to be used on the tables of royalty and nobility, as well as on the tables of common people.

As a historic note: Josiah Wedgewod was the grandfather of Charles Darwin.

Shown below is some of the dinnerware displayed at various museums.
