Wedgwood Jasperware is a type of unglazed, vitreous stoneware, first developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s. It is characterized by its distinctive matte finish and the use of applied bas-relief ornaments, often in white, depicting classical figures, mythological scenes, or floral motifs against a colored background, most famously a particular shade of blue known as "Wedgwood blue."
This particular item is a glass paperweight, a decorative object designed to hold down sheets of paper. The integration of Wedgwood's iconic Jasperware into a glass paperweight combines the artistry of both materials. These pieces were popular decorative and functional items, particularly during the Victorian era and into the mid-20th century, and are sought after by collectors of both glass and Wedgwood.
