However, in the Wedgwood Group, Coalport has always maintained a special position because of its superb carving and painting skills. In the early 1970s, it even recruited a group of new carving craftsmen with extraordinary strength. ✨✨ Wedgwood ✨✨ Josiah Wedgwood, known as the "Father of British Potters", is a famous British ceramic brand with a long history, founded in 1759. Wedgwood is renowned for its high-quality porcelain products, particularly its distinctive 'Jasperware', which is noted for its elegant light relief and muted background. Wedgwood's elegant designs and exquisite craftsmanship are often favored by royal families, nobles and art lovers, becoming one of the classic representatives of British ceramic craftsmanship. In 1759 the main kiln was established in Stoke-on-Trent. Soon after the company was founded, hard ceramics were developed and named "Queen's Porcelain" by the wife of King George IV. He also published the black pottery made by potters at the time, naming it "Egyptian Black". In 1774 he established Wedgwood's reputation with his newly invented cameo jade. In the following years, new types of ceramics came into being one after another based on his research.
