WEDGWOOD JASPERWARE "SPORTING MUG" LIMITED EDITION
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, in addition to Commemorative pieces which celebrated historical events.
You are purchasing a commemorative souvenir cup celebrating historical sporting events. The fine white relief on this huge cup is inscribed "A SOUVENIR". This cup was designed by Richard Guyatt and is a limited edition. Measuring 4 inches tall and 7 inches in diameter, including the handle, this white-on-black Jasperware piece is in MINT condition, with no chips, cracks, or restorations, having been stored in a display case since it was purchased. The base markings are: "The Wedgwood Sporting Mug, designed by Richard Guyatt, Wedgwood of Etruria and Barlaston, Made in England". Also inscribed on the base are the nine historical events that this mug commemorates--"The Derby, Wembley, The Boat Race, St Andrews, Cowes, Brands Hatch, Twickenham, Wimbledon, and Lord's".
