Plaque 1776 - 1796

This jasperware plaque, created by Josiah Wedgwood between 1776 and 1796, depicts a scene of Cupid and Psyche, a popular subject in Neoclassical art. The white figures of Cupid and Psyche, in high relief, are set against a sage green background, enclosed by a black and gold frame. Wedgwood's jasperware, a unique ceramic made with a combination of white and colored clays, was known for its fine detail and elegant finish. The plaque's small size and exquisite craftsmanship make it a stunning example of Wedgwood's artistry, popular with collectors of decorative arts.
