This late 18th-century Wedgwood medallion, titled "Health is Restored," showcases the artistry of the famed pottery factory. The white jasperware cameo depicts an angel figure holding a scroll, symbolizing restored health, set against a blue jasperware ground. The inscription "Health is Restored" further clarifies the theme. The medallion is framed with a border of cut steel, adding to its elegance and decorative appeal. This piece, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the Wedgwood Manufactory's mastery of neoclassical motifs and Jasperware production techniques.
