British Wedgwood Jasperware Cameo Angel Necklace Pendant

[@inabluemoon2023] Once in a blue moon 青月選物~ British Wedgwood Jasperware Cameo Angel Necklace Pendant In 1759, amidst the dawn of the First Industrial Revolution in Britain, Josiah Wedgwood, later revered as the father of English pottery, founded the Wedgwood brand. Throughout his life, he invented and produced three of Wedgwood's most renowned porcelain series: Queen's Ware (1762), Black Basalt (1768), and Jasperware (1774), names that resonate to this day. Jasperware was born in 1774. It is an unglazed, vitreous stoneware, appearing in colors such as blue, green, lilac, yellow, black, or white. This hard, stony earthenware was developed by Josiah Wedgwood through countless experiments. The classical reliefs on the surface are still produced today, using original molds and adhering to ancient methods. Original artisans meticulously apply the finely crafted earthenware reliefs, made from a proprietary formula, to the surface with immense patience, following traditional techniques. Each piece is then carefully hand-carved and retouched before being fired in a kiln. The production process is extremely intricate and challenging. This iconic pale blue jasperware gave rise to the term "WEDGWOOD BLUE," a signature characteristic of Wedgwood that remains unparalleled globally. This necklace pendant, sourced from Japan, features a classic pale blue Wedgwood jasperware cameo depicting the Archangel Raphael, set within a gold-tone metal base. It exudes a vintage yet fresh and contemporary appeal. Brand: Not explicitly marked, but identified as WEDGWOOD through research.
