Best of Bonnechere - Raised Pattern Ceramics

These few sherds (reproduced both sides) of Jasperware might have been amongst a lady's most treasured possessions.

First produced by Josiah Wedgwood, it bears a contrasting relief embellishment on a fine unglazed stoneware body stained to provide the coloured background. Several producers imitated Wedgwood's wares, but none were considered up to his standards.

Object: Dish
Material: Ceramic
Period: Mid 19th Century - Late 19th Century

This fragment of Wedgwood Jasperware serving dish bears a white bas-relief decorative element on a fine green body. The small sherd represents a luxury item, perhaps a treasured gift or heirloom. It was not a happy day when the original was shattered.
