It's the first Blue Monday of 2009! I am all revved up and ready to share some great blue items over the next few weeks, so I hope you'll be coming by regularly! Be sire to visit Sally and the other participants to see their blue items, too.My mother has several pieces of Wedgwood porcelain from the Jasperware accessories collection. She has green and pink/terracotta, as well as these 2 blue pieces, the most well-known color of this signature pottery.
Wedgwood Pottery was founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795), who is remembered as the Father of English Potters. During his lifetime, Josiah Wedgwood invented what remain three of Wedgwood’s most famous ceramic lines- Queen’s Ware, 1762, Black Basalt, 1768 and Jasper, 1774.
For more blue goodness, be sure to visit Sally and the other participants at Smiling Sally!

It's beautiful. I've never seen this particular series and I'm just in awe how pretty is it. I'm sure the pictures do not do it justice.
Enjoy your day!
Very lovely! I think my mom has a piece of this but I have never asked her about it. Now I will have to go dig through her stuff--boy is she a plateware collector--
*smiles*

Ok,l I THINK I finally have something that you may have, it is like a jewelery box, I'm going to find it and do a post next week about it. Maybe you'll be able to give me a lesson on it. Cause I know nothing. LOL
Hugs,

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your visit to my place today.. The Temptations ovenware is very easy to clean .... I love it. I also love the pieces of your Wedgwood Pottery.. Blue is my favorite color and this shade of blue is so appealing!!! Hugs, Baba
You have very lovely things. I have always liked those. I never knew they had a real name other then Wedgewood. It makes sense, now.
Hi Elizabeth, welcome to Blue Monday. We have lots of fun with our blue. Your Wedgwood is beautiful. Thank you for the little history of Wedgwood pottery. I love the blue as well as the green.

Evening, Elizabeth! Happy New Year! Oh, what pretties. I have a little one of these from my grandmother. It looks like a tiny little vase with ladies on it! These are so beautiful.
Yes, after all my Christmas things are put away, I find one or two things I missed! Happens every year!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Elizabeth, this is so pretty. I've noticed it here and there and I have always admired it. Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn
Cute stuff...but I love blue!
I enjoyed reading about the history! Is it true that Wedgwood will be going the way of Spode and Waterford? The pieces are beautiful.
This is lovely. Happy Blue Monday!
It's pretty amazing how much work goes into such beautiful pieces of art.
Happy Monday Elizabeth! Wedgewood blue is one of my favorite colors, so soft and misty. Here's to a happy and healthy 2009 :o)

The Wedgewood is beautiful! My mom used to have some pieces in green.
The crib I had for my girls many, many years ago was based on Wedgewood designs. The crib was white with Wedgewood blue side rails and design on the ends.
I just adore blue and white!
Elizabeth, there's a little something waiting for you on my blog. ;-)
