Do you think Wedgwood is nothing but blue and white china? Think again. This exhibition will show only a fraction of the many thousands of ware types, patterns and forms offered to the consumer by Wedgwood from the 1760s through today. Founded by Josiah Wedgwood in 1759, the company has grown to become internationally recognized for quality and innovation. Come see how successive generations of the Wedgwood family, craftsmen, and artists transformed the world of English ceramics.
