What is Wedgwood Edme, and is it porcelain?

Edme is a Wedgwood tableware line known for a laurel motif and Georgian-inspired shapes. Wedgwood’s own Edme collection page states that the line has an earthenware body, so it is not porcelain. Many pattern references and replacement services date Edme to 1908 and track its long production run across many decades. Collectors often like it since it looks refined without heavy painted decoration, so it suits daily use and mixes with other cream-toned lines. For buying, focus on the body colour (cream rather than bright white), the raised border detail, and clean rims. Many second-hand pieces show utensil marks from stacking, so inspect plate centres. If you are building a set, match the exact Edme stamp style, since long-running lines can show small backstamp changes.
