Description

Pin is in good condition.  Made in England.


For well over a century, people of all ages have delighted in wearing their favourite piece of Wedgwood jasperware  jewellery.  Because these items enjoy increasing popularity there has been a steady demand for new as well as classical designs. Among the favourites are the scenes from Greek and Roman mythology which are timeless and as a result, the same motifs have been reintroduced into the market decades later. It is worth remembering that these lovely pieces owe their appearance to the most famous Roman ‘Portland Vase ‘which inspired Josiah Wedgwood in the 18th Century to create his original jasper stoneware.
