Creamware Appraisal

Collection of Wedgwood Jasperware Plates, Cup, and Vase

This collection consists of multiple pieces of Wedgwood Jasperware, primarily saucers, along with one cup and one vase. The dominant color is the classic Wedgwood blue, characterized by its matte, unglazed stoneware finish. One saucer, however, is notable for its sage green color, indicating variety within the collection. All pieces feature raised white relief decoration, a hallmark of Jasperware, depicting neoclassical motifs. Examples of these reliefs include delicate floral borders, classic figures in various poses (such as the two heads on one saucer), and animal figures like a horse. One blue saucer features a specific architectural scene, possibly a castle or large building. Another blue saucer has a central medallion with what appears to be a classical portrait or bust. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with Wedgwood's reputation for detailed and precise relief work. The items appear to be in good condition, showing some minor dirt and wear commensurate with age and handling. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant repairs in the provided images. The 'WEDGWOOD MADE IN ENGLAND' stamp, as indicated in the context, signifies production post-1891. The style is distinctly Neoclassical, which Josiah Wedgwood popularized, making these pieces representative of a long-standing design tradition. The differing sizes of the saucers and the inclusion of a cup and vase suggest a diverse collection rather than a matched set, though all share the distinctive Jasperware aesthetic.
