The Art of Jasperware
Wedgwood's secret formula remains guarded after 250 years. This sage green achieves its distinctive hue through chromium oxide—originally termed "sea-green." The white goddess figures showcase the "sprigging" technique, where delicate relief elements are pressed from molds and applied before firing, creating crisp dimensional detail.
Mythological Heritage
The goddess motifs reflect 18th-century neoclassical fascination with ancient mythology. These feminine figures, inspired by Greek and Roman deities, symbolized virtue, wisdom, and beauty—ideals that perfectly embodied Wedgwood's sophisticated clientele. The pairing creates a sense of divine symmetry coveted by collectors.
