Masterpieces of Wedgwood
Description:
The British Museum's extensive collection of Wedgwood ware contains some of the finest specimens ever made by the factory. Through a close study of the most stunning pieces in the collection, Aileen Dawson reviews the remarkable history of the factory from its foundation up to modern times. Letters and documents bring to life the eighteenth century society whose taste Wedgwood both exploited and influenced, and reveal, too, his close relationship with modellers, painters and sculptors. A chapter is devoted to each of Wedgwood's two most famous masterpieces, the Portland and Pegasus vases.
