Image: Wedgwood - Apollo with a Zodiac Border - Walters 481971
Description: In 1774, Josiah Wedgwood (1730-95) introduced the unglazed jasperware with white relief decoration on pastel or black backgrounds for which the firm became famous. The technique was used for ornamental cameos that appealed to the late 18th-century passion for ancient cameos and intaglios. This circular dark blue medallion depicts the god Apollo with his lyre and tripod surrounded by a Zodiac border.
