Wedgwood Cameo Appraisal

Vintage Wedgwood Blue and White Cameo Glass Ice Bucket and Tumbler Set (partial)

This item is a partial set consisting of one ice bucket and one matching tumbler, both made of clear glass adorned with a distinctive 'Wedgwood Blue' aesthetic decoration. The decoration features a matte blue background upon which white, cameo-style designs are applied. The larger piece, likely an ice bucket due to its wider mouth and tapered shape, displays a medieval or Renaissance-inspired scene. Visible elements in this scene include a knight on horseback, a castle structure, and intricate floral and foliage patterns. The smaller piece, a tumbler, showcases similar white, cameo-style imagery against the blue background, depicting various animals such as a bird in flight and a lion-like creature, interspersed with stylized trees and foliage. Both pieces have a decorative border at the top, just below the rim, comprising a repeating geometric or scroll-like pattern in white against the blue. The rims of both glass pieces appear smooth and well-finished. The glass itself is clear, allowing light to pass through, and the overall construction appears sturdy. The white decoration shows good contrast against the blue, and no significant chips or cracks are immediately visible from the provided images. There might be some minor wear to the decorated surface consistent with age and use, but this cannot be definitively assessed without closer inspection. The style strongly suggests a mid-20th century production, possibly from the 1950s or 1960s, drawing inspiration from classical Wedgwood Jasperware patterns. The quality of the decoration, particularly the fine detail in the white motifs, indicates a good standard of craftsmanship.
