Wedgwood, by its full name Josiah Wedgwood and Sons, is a British pottery, earthenware and porcelain factory founded in May 1759, at the very beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom, by Josiah Wedgwood and his son Thomas Wedgwood. Jasperware, or jasper, is a type of pottery first developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s. Usually described as stoneware, it has an unglazed "biscuit" matte finish and is produced in a number of different colors , the most common and well-known of which is a pale blue that has come to be known as Wedgwood Blue. Embossed decorations in contrasting colors (usually in white but also in other colors) are characteristic of jasperware, giving a cameo effect. The reliefs are produced in molds and applied to the articles in the form of strands.
