About Jasperware
Wedgwood's jasperware represents one of the most significant achievements in ceramic history. Developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s, this fine unglazed stoneware derives its name from the mineral jasper. The distinctive pale blue coloration comes from cobalt oxide, while the intricate white relief decorations are meticulously applied by hand—a technique that has remained largely unchanged for over two centuries. This manufacturing process became one of the most recognizable and collectible ceramic styles worldwide.
