Title: Wedgwood Family, 1960 [Go to resource]
Description: 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. Decorations, in the Neoclassical style and usually white, were made in separate moulds and applied to the body of the piece. This example is decorated with a playful design.
