Wedgwood's "Iris" dessert service was a line of pearlware ceramics produced in the 19th century.

Pearlware is a type of earthenware that was developed in the late 18th century and was popular throughout the 19th century. It is characterized by a slightly bluish or grayish tint and a smooth, lustrous glaze. Wedgwood was one of the leading manufacturers of pearlware during this period, and their "Iris" line was a popular and highly sought-after design.

Today, antique pieces from the "Iris" dessert service are considered valuable and collectible, particularly those in good condition with vibrant colors and minimal signs of wear.
