The name Wedgwood has come to stand for something far beyond its illustrious and energetic
founder: it has united art and industry; introduced design and artistic collaborations;
and pioneered the development ofthe firm's iconic blue-and-white jasperware. This
book tells that story through design, reflecting the continuing role that Wedgwood
and its designers, artists, and employees have played in setting trends--including
collaborations with many British artists and designers such as Christopher Dresser,
Eric Ravilious, and Keith Murray. Wedgwood continuously responds to the market and
produces high-quality, desirable ceramicsfor a broad range of consumers, yet remains
faithful to the traditions established by Josiah Wedgwood in the eighteenth century.
The book presents highlights from the internationally renowned V&A Wedgwood Collection,
praised by the Art Fund--one of the UK's leading art organizations--as “one of the
most important industrial archives,” containing around 80,000 objects. This archive
reflects the unique proposition of Wedgwood's business: by operating in both the 'ornamental'
and 'useful' markets, Wedgwood has been able to bring innovative ceramic design to
a broad and increasingly international clientele. These ceramics and their stories
demonstrate the artistic heritage, craft, and innovation that have become synonymous
with the Wedgwood name for more than 250 years
