Description

Illustrated in color and black-and-white, this early in-depth text is a  comprehensive study of Wedgwood jasper porcelain.  “Jasper was not only the outstanding invention of Josiah Wedgwood’s life as a potter; it was also the most significant innovation in ceramics since the discovery of porcelain by the Chinese some nine hundred years earlier.”
WEDGWOOD JASPER
by Robin Reilly, Thames and Hudson, NY, 1994.
“The depth of Robin Reilly’s research, his unrivaled knowledge and understanding of Wedgwood wares…have established his reputation as the foremost authority on the subject.  In a specially written Part I, he provides a brief but clear narrative chronology of the firm and its principal products.  In Parts 2 and 3, he presents a uniquely comprehensive and fully documented account of every aspect of jasper’s long history.  Complete with over 600 illustrations (71 in color), each with a detailed description, and invaluable appendices on Wedgwood trademarks, cameos, intaglios, medals, medallions, tablets, plaques, busts and figures, this is, in every sense, a standard work, which may be considered definitive.”   If you are a collector, dealer, or historian of Wedgwood jasper ware, you will want to add this invaluable book to your permanent reference library.
