Queensware

The shelves are not only shining with pewter and queen's ware, but some articles in silver, more ponderous, it is true, than elegant.

[T]he plates of Queen's ware had not only been ill-used by being put upon the hob, by which they had lost some of their gadrooned-edges, but were of an unequal size, and the dishes were flat and therefore held little gravy.
