Wedgwood is a fine bone china and porcelain pottery brand that was founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood, an English potter and businessman based in Staffordshire. Remembered as the “Father of English Pottery”, Josiah Wedgwood created the well-respected Wedgwood brand through experimenting with clay and eclectic design. He most famously created the “Wedgwood Blue”, a colour that is now synonymous with the brand and recognizable worldwide. Jasperware is named after the mineral jasper for marketing reasons- the exact Wedgwood formula remains confidential, but analyses indicate that barium sulphate is a key ingredient. The fired body is naturally white but usually stained with metallic oxide colors.

In 1995, Wedgwood pottery was given the Royal Warrant, a significant mark of achievement for companies who have supplied goods to the Queen and the Royal Household.
