Description
Bold, sculptural, and strikingly different — this Wedgwood black jasperware planter with terra cotta Egyptian relief figures is one of the more dramatic pieces in the jasperware canon.
Made by Wedgwood of Stoke-on-Trent, this planter features a matte black jasperware ground with raised terra cotta Egyptian-style relief decoration — a combination that speaks to Wedgwood's long tradition of drawing on classical antiquity for its decorative vocabulary. The Egyptian Revival influence gives this piece a distinctive character that sets it apart from the more familiar blue and white jasperware.
