This refined Wedgwood blue jasperware dish exemplifies the neoclassical elegance for which the English firm is celebrated. Crafted in England, the piece features Wedgwood’s iconic matte blue jasper body adorned with crisp applied white reliefs, including a finely modeled profile portrait bust of a classical naval officer, traditionally associated with Admiral Lord Nelson–type imagery, framed by a continuous oak-and-acorn laurel garland along the rim.
The sculptural detailing is exceptionally sharp, showcasing Wedgwood’s mastery of low-relief classical ornamentation. The contrast between the soft, velvety blue ground and the luminous white relief creates a timeless, museum-quality aesthetic. The reverse bears the impressed “WEDGWOOD MADE IN ENGLAND” mark, confirming authenticity and English manufacture.
Pieces like this were produced as decorative cabinet plates or pin dishes, intended for display rather than service, and remain highly sought after by collectors of Wedgwood jasperware, neoclassical design, and British decorative arts.
