Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Collection

This collection features a set of Wedgwood blue jasperware pieces, renowned for their distinctive matte, unglazed ceramic body and contrasting white bas-relief decorations. The primary color is a classic pale blue, often referred to as 'Wedgwood blue,' with all applied decorations in crisp white. Visible items include a large decorative plate or charger, a teapot, a lidded sugar bowl, a creamer, a smaller saucer or plate, and a candlestick holder. The large plate showcases a continuous circular scene depicting classical figures, possibly mythological or allegorical, interspersed with trees and foliage. The central area of the plate is left plain. The teapot, sugar bowl, and creamer are adorned with similar classical figure motifs and natural elements around their bodies, with the teapot resting on a dark, possibly wooden or ceramic, display stand. The lids of the teapot and sugar bowl feature white floral or foliate finials. The smaller plate also has a scene of classical figures. The candlestick holder has a fluted or ribbed base with a white garland pattern encircling its outer edge. The craftsmanship is consistently high, with finely detailed bas-relief work exhibiting sharp edges and intricate forms, indicative of Wedgwood's quality. There are no obvious signs of chips, cracks, or significant wear visible from the provided images, suggesting the items are in good to excellent condition. The matte finish typical of jasperware can be prone to scuffs or dirt accumulation, but none are discernible here. These pieces collectively represent a classic example of Wedgwood's iconic jasperware production, a style popular from the late 18th century through subsequent periods, reflecting neoclassical aesthetics.
