In 1754 Josiah Wedgwood began to experiment with coloured creamware. He established his own factory, but often worked with others who did transfer printing. He also produced jasperware, made of white stoneware clay that had been coloured by the addition of metal oxides. Jasperware was usually ornamented with white relief portraits or Greek Classical scenes. Jasperware, his most successful innovation, was a durable unglazed ware most characteristically blue with fine white cameo figures inspired by the ancient Roman Portland Vase. Many of the finest designs were the work of the British artist John Flaxman. The Wedgwood company went on to produce pottery and dinnerware in many different and popular patterns.

This antique Wedgwood Jasperware sugar bowl is in Cobalt Blue and is 5 1/2 inches in diameter and measures 5 inches in height to the top of the cover. This piece is in mint condition, with no cracks, chips, or restorations. The base markings are "Wedgwood" and "Made in England", with potters marks, circa 1910-1930. A beautiful antique item for the serious Wedgwood collector.
