Wedgwood & Bentley Jasperware Portrait Medallion Of Rousseau
About the Item
This exceptional blue and white jasperware plaque by Wedgwood & Bentley depicts Genevan writer, philosopher and composer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Some of Wedgwood's most meticulous work was executed in cameos and medallions, often featuring royalty and celebrated personages as subjects. The invention of the jasper body circa 1775 enabled Wedgwood to produce white cameo reliefs on a colored ground in beautiful combinations. Embodying classical beauty and simplicity, jasper medallions are among Wedgwood's most sought-after wares.
