Let me share the fascinating history of Wedgwood, a renowned English fine china and porcelain manufacturer.Josiah Wedgwood I, a visionary potter and entrepreneur, founded Wedgwood in 1759 when he was just 29 years old. His journey began as an independent potter in Burslem, England.Here are some key highlights from the Wedgwood story:Innovations and Legacy:Josiah Wedgwood is often remembered as the “Father of English Potters”. His pioneering spirit, commitment to exacting quality standards, and vigorous design policy remain at the heart of the brand today.Did you know that Josiah actively participated in the Abolition of Slavery cause from 1787 until his death in 1795?Many common sales techniques we recognize today, such as direct mail, money-back guarantee, free delivery, and celebrity endorsement, originated from Josiah Wedgwood.Interestingly, Charles Darwin, the renowned scientist known for his contributions to the theory of evolution, was Josiah Wedgwood’s grandson.Jasperware:Jasper, one of Josiah’s most famous inventions, made its debut in 1774 after countless experiments.This unglazed vitreous fine stoneware came in various colors: blue, green, lilac, yellow, black, or white.The delicate, colored grounds served as a canvas for classical and contemporary reliefs, which are still crafted today from molds reproduced from the originals.The iconic light blue jasper even gave rise to the expression “Wedgwood Blue”, becoming a recognizable signature worldwide.
