Jasperware - arguably Josiah Wedgwood’s most important contribution to ceramic art and the foundation for our iconic Wedgwood Blue. Being such an integral part of our Wedgwood story, we are frequently asked questions about the admired material, from care guidance to the history and the making.

English potter Josiah Wedgwood invented jasperware in 1774 after thousands of experiments. Jasperware is a type of fine-grained, unglazed stoneware that has a matte finish and classical motifs. Its name comes from its hardness, which resembles the natural stone jasper.

Jasperware is particularly associated with the neoclassical sculptor and designer John Flaxman Jr., who began to supply Wedgwood with designs from 1775. Flaxman mostly worked in wax when designing for Wedgwood.[17] The designs were then cast: some of them are still in production.
