Antiques And Collectibles Decorative Arts Appraisal

Group of Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Collection

This lot comprises a collection of Wedgwood blue Jasperware pieces, predominantly featuring classical or commemorative designs in white bas-relief against a matte blue stoneware body. The collection includes at least two decorative plates, one of which is explicitly identified as an Australian Bicentennial plate and appears to be in its original presentation box, indicating careful preservation. Another plate features a depiction of what appears to be a castle or a prominent landmark, possibly the 'Disneyland plate' mentioned in the context. Also visible are smaller Jasperware items such as a small bowl or dish, a miniature vase or jug with a classic Wedgwood shape, and a cup and saucer set. The characteristic 'Wedgwood blue' color is consistent across all pieces, and the white bas-relief ornamentation provides a stark, elegant contrast. The craftsmanship is typical of Wedgwood, known for its fine detail and consistent quality in Jasperware production since the 18th century. Given the Bicentennial plate, the collection spans pieces from at least the late 20th century. The original boxes for some items suggest good condition, though specific wear or damage to the individual ceramic pieces is not discernible from the image. The items are displayed on what appears to be a light brown or beige surface, possibly a display table, with some items including the plates supported by black display stands. The overall condition appears well-preserved given the presence of original packaging for at least one key item.
