About the Book
Discover the genius of Josiah Wedgwood I (1730-1795), whose diverse, high-end products and business practices revolutionized the English ceramics industry in the 18th century. The ROM's outstanding collection of Wedgwood includes pieces of "Queen's Ware" from the table of Catherine the Great, copies of the famed "Portland vase," a black basalt relief weighing more than 800 pounds, as well as exquisite cameo medallions and jewellery. Published on the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Wedgwood company.
