A Wedgwood blue Jasperware 2001 annual decorative plate. 7.25”

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, mythological figures, or floral motifs. The distinctive blue color, known as 'Wedgwood blue,' is one of its most iconic shades, though it is produced in various colors.

Annual plates, such as this one from 2001, are a popular collectible series produced by Wedgwood. These plates are typically released each year and feature unique designs that often commemorate historical events, seasons, or artistic themes. They are designed for decorative purposes and are highly sought after by collectors who aim to complete a set or acquire plates from specific years.
