Craftsmanship
This piece exemplifies jasperware at its finest - the blue color is integral to the stoneware body, not painted or glazed. The natural blue hue comes from metallic oxides mixed into the clay, creating the distinctive color that penetrates throughout the entire piece.
The delicate neoclassical figures are hand-applied in white relief, demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship that has made Wedgwood the standard for English pottery excellence since the 18th century.
Perfect for the collector who appreciates both functional beauty and historical significance. A sophisticated addition to any tea or coffee service, embodying the elegance of mid-century English design.
Recently acquired from distinguished Hudson Valley estate.
