This is a precious antique spade-shaped plate from Wedgwood, the renowned British pottery manufacturer founded by Josiah Wedgwood in the late 18th century. This unique triangular plate is crafted from Jasperware, the material synonymous with Wedgwood, and features a beautiful white relief on a distinctive pale blue-gray background.

The center features an intricately drawn classical figure, surrounded by festoon decorations that create an elegant impression. This classical motif was influenced by the neoclassicism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and the sophisticated design that was loved by the aristocratic society of the time has been passed down to the present day.

Jasperware is a unique technique by Wedgwood, whereby a white relief is applied to a colored base, and its delicate expression and elegant color continue to fascinate many collectors. The smooth texture and moderate weight that can be felt in the hand speak to the high quality of this piece.

Recommended usage and applications

Use it as a plate for small sweets and scones during afternoon tea to create a traditional British teatime culture. Its elegant appearance will also make a dignified impression when entertaining special guests.

Displaying it as a decorative plate on a display shelf or sideboard will add a touch of antique elegance to any space, and it also makes a great practical accessory tray for organizing small items in the entryway or on a dresser.

When displayed in combination with other Wedgwood pieces as part of a collection, it creates a luxurious space where you can enjoy the history and beauty of British ceramics.

Interior coordination proposals

In the classical style, combining antique mahogany furniture and brass candlesticks creates a sophisticated atmosphere reminiscent of an aristocratic English mansion. It also pairs exceptionally well with damask fabrics and Persian rugs.

In a modern classic interior, displaying antiques on a simple white shelf will highlight their beauty, adding a sense of historical weight and elegance to a modern space. We also recommend using indirect lighting to beautifully highlight the shadows of the reliefs.

The French shabby chic style combines white and cream furniture, lace curtains, and dried flowers to create a romantic and feminine space, which also complements pastel-colored accessories beautifully.

Wedgwood's masterpieces, which are considered the pinnacle of British antiques, will bring timeless beauty and exquisite craftsmanship into your daily life, bringing exceptional elegance and the romance of history to your space.
