Period: 20th century circa: 1925-1930 Dimensions: height: 57.5cm x width: 84cm x depth: 2cm In the 18th century in England, potters were prosperous because raw materials and energy sources were abundant and inexpensive. Coal takes the place of wood as fuel and the steam engine produces energy and movement. The famous potter Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) conquered the world ceramics market with original products of high quality at a reasonable cost, inaugurating the economic ceramics of the 19th century through their mechanized production. Wedgwood ceramics have been renowned since the second half of the 18th century in England and beyond its borders. It seduced the British crown with its novelty and quality, followed by several European courts including that of Catherine II of Russia who ordered a service of 952 pieces! An indefatigable researcher, Josiah Wedgwood revolutionized the art of ceramics by using new materials to first produce “Crean-ware” earthenware, then a black basalt biscuit, and above all a colored jasper developed in the factory. Etruria, which he founded in 1768. Parts on an industrial scale would come out of this factory. As the potter was also a remarkable businessman open to novelties, he was able to understand the enthusiasm of his contemporaries for Antiquity following the extraordinary archaeological discoveries of Herculaneum in 1738 and Pompeii in 1748. Its production at large scale of classic so-called "neo-Greek" models will have a very wide circulation.
