A blue Wedgwood Jasperware collector plate from 2002. 7” In Box

Wedgwood Jasperware is a type of unglazed stoneware developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s. It is characterized by its matte finish and the application of raised white reliefs, often depicting classical scenes, figures, or floral motifs. This distinctive style became immensely popular and remains a hallmark of the Wedgwood brand.

Annual collector plates, such as this one, are produced by Wedgwood to commemorate specific years or themes. The '2002' marking indicates it is part of a series, likely a Christmas or special edition plate, designed for collectors. The central scene and surrounding decorations are typical of Wedgwood's neoclassical aesthetic, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art.
