jasperware
Blue-and-white stoneware
Jasperware is a type of unglazed stoneware developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 18th century.
It's typically colored in matte blue, green, or other shades, decorated with white classical relief figures and designs.
The distinctive blue-and-white pieces remain iconic: The mantelpiece displayed her grandmother's jasperware vase.
