Button with Offering of Victory c. late 18th century

This small, round button, dating back to the late 18th century, is a prime example of Wedgwood’s Jasperware, a type of stoneware. It depicts a classical figure, likely a goddess, offering a garland of victory. The figure is depicted in white relief on a vibrant blue background, a signature aesthetic of Wedgwood’s jasperware. This small but intricate work of art demonstrates Wedgwood’s mastery of the Neoclassical style and its influence on everyday objects.
