Josiah Wedgwood changed that notion with the invention of his famous jasperware. The first viewing of Wedgwood's jasperware typically elicits a reaction of awe, particularly from Wedgwood collectors. Whether you have a deep or nascent understanding of the medium, there's no denying jasperware's incomparable elegance impacted the decorative arts in monumental ways.No other type of stoneware more accurately reflects the perfection that Josiah Wedgwood, the renowned English potter, achieved than his invention of jasperware, named after the natural mineral jasper. After several thousand individual experiments, jasperware techniques were introduced to the public in a watershed discovery in 1775. Some even describe this stoneware art form as the most important development in ceramics since the Chinese discovered porcelain some 1,000 years earlier. After perfecting the technique of crafting wares, vases and figures out of this new material, Wedgwood opted to adorn the surfaces with stark-white classical motifs, giving it what we know today as the "Wedgwood look." smoke free homesame day shipping if early enough
