Wedgwood Black Basalt Arabesques Pitcher Jug 19th Century

About the Item

Wedgwood Black Basalt Arabesques Pitcher Jug 19th Century Good condition, as seen. From a private collection. Wedgwood Black Basalt is a type of stoneware developed by the renowned English pottery manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood in the late 18th century. It is characterized by its distinctive matte black finish, which is achieved through a particular firing process. Basaltware was introduced by Wedgwood around 1768 and became quite popular due to its elegant appearance and versatility. The material was named after basalt rock due to its dark color and fine-grained texture. Wedgwood Black Basalt was used to create a wide range of items, including vases, decorative objects, tableware, and cameos. The material was often adorned with intricate classical designs, relief work, or neoclassical motifs, reflecting the prevailing tastes of the time. Wedgwood's Black Basalt pieces are highly collectible today, prized for their craftsmanship, historical significance, and aesthetic appeal. They are often sought after by collectors of antique ceramics and Wedgwood enthusiasts. Free international shipping.
