A Pair of Wedgwood Engine Turned Black Basalt Vases
About the Item
Black Basalt was created by Josiah Wedgwood in the 18th century. Wedgwood transformed Egyptian Black, a traditional Staffordshire stoneware into Black Basalt. Before Wedgwood’s innovation the English potters used material found in the ground around local coal deposits to make Egyptian Black. Wedgwood used this native material but added manganese to obtain a richer black for his Black Basalt.
