Side plate c. 1800

This side plate, created by the renowned English potter Josiah Wedgwood, exemplifies his mastery of ceramics. Wedgwood's production, renowned for its fine craftsmanship and elegant design, played a significant role in shaping the aesthetic standards of the late 18th century. The delicate green floral motifs on a creamy white background evoke a sense of refined taste, characteristic of Wedgwood's signature style. The plate's scalloped edge adds a touch of ornate charm. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistry and sophistication of Wedgwood's porcelain production.
