Signature material
Jasperware, perfected 1774

Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795), born in Burslem into a family of potters, partnered with Thomas Whieldon in 1754 before establishing his own business at the Ivy House Works in Burslem in 1759. His cream-colored earthenware won royal favor from Queen Charlotte and became known as Queen's Ware.

In 1774, after years of experimentation, he perfected jasperware, the matte stoneware most associated with the Wedgwood name, typically decorated in relief on a blue ground.
