Origin & Maker

Wedgwood is one of the most renowned names in British ceramics, synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and innovation. Founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood in Staffordshire, the company revolutionised pottery production and established England as a leader in fine ceramics.

Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) was not only a master potter but also a visionary entrepreneur. His scientific approach to ceramics led to the creation of new materials, such as creamware—a refined, durable alternative to porcelain—which became highly sought after, even by Queen Charlotte. This royal endorsement earned Wedgwood the title "Potter to Her Majesty." He later developed jasperware, famous for its delicate, neoclassical designs in soft pastel hues, particularly the iconic blue-and-white combination.

Beyond artistry, Wedgwood pioneered industrial techniques, including the use of steam-powered machinery and mass production, making fine ceramics more accessible. He also championed social progress, advocating against slavery and introducing fair labour practices.

Over the centuries, Wedgwood has maintained its reputation for quality and design excellence. From pearlware to bone china, the brand’s legacy endures, with collectors and enthusiasts cherishing its timeless creations. Today, Wedgwood remains a symbol of British heritage, blending history with modern craftsmanship.
