Bøker av Josiah Wedgwood

This fascinating 1873 publication is a version of the catalogue produced by the Wedgwood company almost one hundred years earlier, in 1787. A brief history of the catalogues is provided, followed by a long list of the cameos, intaglios, figurines, vases, and dinner, tea and coffee services which the firm offered.

Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) was a master potter responsible for many innovations in ceramic manufacture. These three volumes, first published between 1903 and 1906, contain Wedgwood's letters to his business partner Thomas Bentley (1730-1780) and provide a fascinating account of late eighteenth-century life. Volume 1 covers 1762-1772.
