Wedgwood Pale Blue Jasperware Heart-Shaped Sweet Dish

This item is a semi-vitreous unglazed stoneware sweet dish or trinket tray crafted by the renowned English manufacturer Wedgwood. It is rendered in the company’s signature 'Pale Blue' Jasperware, a solid-colored, fine-grained stoneware body that has been a staple of the brand since the late 18th century. The piece is shaped into a stylized heart or leaf-like silhouette, measuring approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter. The underside features a raised triangular foot rim that provides stability. Within the foot rim, the piece is clearly incised with the 'WEDGWOOD' and 'MADE IN ENGLAND' stamps, which suggests a manufacturing date in the mid-to-late 20th century, likely between 1970 and 1990. The surface texture is smooth and matte, characteristic of quality jasperware. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy abrasions, though some light shelf wear and a soft patina of age are present on the foot rim. The craftsmanship is consistent with high-standard industrial production, showing uniform color saturation throughout the clay body and a clean, precise mold execution.
