Crocus Pot c. 1820

This "Crocus Pot" is a fine example of Wedgwood's jasperware, a type of ceramic prized for its smooth, white finish. Dating back to 1820, the pot is a delicate and ornate piece with a central vase and a square base, all adorned with intricate green vine designs. The top features a circular ring with holes, designed to hold flowers. The elegant, neoclassical style of the pot reflects the popular trends of the period. The Art Institute of Chicago now houses this delicate piece of Wedgwood artistry.
