Wedgwood Jasper predates the American Declaration of Independence
by one year having been introduced to the public by Josiah Wedgwood
in 1775. Of all the many types of ceramics produced by the Wedgwood
Company in the last two and a half centuries, Jasper is most
immediately recognizable. This second book on this fascinating
subject by the author traces Jasper's long history and almost
infinite variety. It covers the entire range of Wedgwood's Jasper
pieces, from items of museum quality to those found in most
collections. After an informative introduction to Wedgwood history
and marks, the photographic delineation covers the various types:
Diceware, Strapware, Sgraffito, Sage Green and Lilac on White
Jasper, Jasper Mounted on Metal, Crimson Jasper, and more. This is
followed by a wonderful photographic gallery, organized by shapes.,
including biscuit barrels, bowls, boxes, candleholders, cups and
saucers, figures inkwells, jewelry, jugs and mugs, lamps,
medallions, perfume bottles, plates and trays, tea and coffee sets,
vases, and more. All of this is illustrated with over 750 color
photos. Important private collections are featured as well as one
of the finest museum collections in the United States and auction
houses. Wedgwood Jasper is well represented in all the finest
ceramics collections around the world.
