This Wedgwood cameo locket, dating from the late 18th century, showcases the manufactory's renowned ceramic artistry. The whiteware cameo, crafted in the neoclassical style, features a sculpted portrait in relief, likely of a prominent figure of the era. This miniature work of art, measuring just 2.9 cm in height, was intended for personal adornment, serving as a testament to the fashion and artistic trends of the late 18th century.
