Wedgwood Jasperware Trinket Box, Pale Blue with White Reliefs, Oval – Vintage England 1970s

A beautiful oval lidded box in blue jasperware with numerous white relief motifs by the famous English maker Wedgwood.

About the Material

Jasperware – Josiah Wedgwood's most famous invention – appeared in 1774 after thousands of experiments: an unglazed fine stoneware onto whose delicately tinted ground classical reliefs are applied. The iconic pale blue gave rise to the term "Wedgwood Blue". Josiah Wedgwood is still regarded as the "father of English potters".
