Developed in the 1770s, the material is a fine, unglazed stoneware body coloured throughout and finished with applied white relief ornament. The effect — white classical figures set against a matte coloured ground — draws directly on antique cameos and friezes, many associated with designers such as John Flaxman and William Hackwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular lidded box is produced in the pale blue most closely associated with Jasperware. The matte ground provides a restrained backdrop for crisp white sprigged reliefs. The lid centres a neoclassical scene of two draped female figures flanking a floral column, enclosed within a rectangular cartouche and bordered by a continuous garland with floral corner motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sides are articulated with alternating anthemion devices and figural panels on all four faces, each panel depicting classical subjects in low relief. The interior remains undecorated in solid blue. The lid aligns cleanly and sits securely. The underside bears the impressed “WEDGWOOD \/ MADE IN ENGLAND” mark, with additional characters partially indistinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is excellent. No chips, cracks, or restoration.
