Blue Jasper is quintessential Wedgwood that is the most prized of all Josiah Wedgwood's inventions and has been produced for more than 200 years and is still made by hand. The neoclassical relief design is derived from antiquities and each ornament is carefully applied by skilled craftspeople. Many of the designs on Wedgwood Jasperware relate to stories taken from classical Greek and Roman mythology. Although delicate in appearance it has a strong body.
