Wedgwood's story begins in 1759. It was then that Josiah Wedgwood, the “Father of English Potters,' founded a pottery company at the Ivy House Works, Burslem. Wedgwood was an ambitious man and from the outset his vision was to combine beauty with functionality and art with industry. Once he had established himself as a potter of considerable renown, Wedgwood went about employing the services of eminent artists of his day. The originality and beauty of Wedgwood products set them apart from the very beginning and their reputation grew rapidly. As well as being able to list the Prince of Monaco amongst their past designers, Wedgwood has graced the most prestigious tables the world over, from those of the Empress Catherine of Russia to Queen Elizabeth II.
Having just celebrated 250 years of ceramic innovation, Wedgwood's eyes are fixed as much on the future as on the past. Its founder's ethos endures to this day and the company has continued to employ the most important artists of its time. Whilst it has an enviable treasure-chest of design archives to draw upon, its latest products are as fresh and exciting as ever.
Wedgwood products will prove to be an investment to treasure; heirlooms to pass down from generation to generation. Their exuberant presence will bring something unique to any interior no matter what the style and will undoubtedly prove to be conversation pieces in themselves. This is art that carries within itself a rich history; art that continues to inspire today; art that will endure long into the future.
