Title: Terra-Cotta Wedgwood, 1969 [Go to resource]
Description: This is a straight copy, on to an orange background, of the Dark Blue Wedgwood tin which was produced in 1954 and then again between 1963 and 1968. Wedgwood Jasperware designs were very popular on Huntley & Palmers tins after World War Two. 'Jasperware' was a type of fine-grained, unglazed stoneware created by the Josiah Wedgwood in 1775 as the result of a long series of experiments. Its name derives from the fact that it resembles the natural stone jasper in its hardness. The most common colour is pale blue, but dark blue, lilac, sage green, black, and yellow were also used.
