cases left his discoveries open
for copying by fellow potters.
Fol example. his friend and
pupil, William Adams, was able
to produce the jasper body in
a form and quality akin to the
Wedgwood.
We know a Washington
woman who is the posSessor
OF two jasper vases which had
been in her family for 100
years and which had been
handed down from generation
to generation AS "Wedgwoods."
Only recently, did her curios-
ity in research result in a
challenge to the family ira
dition. The vases apparently
were Adams work.
Modern pieces of Wedgwood,
while stamped with the Wedg-
wood name, carry also an
imprint required by law and
unnecessary in Wedgwood's
Jay.
Because of the long history
of the Wedgwood firm. plenti-
full research materials are
available to those interested in
such pottery forms. Use Of
these materials would remove
the haze from one species of
antiques about which there
need be little confusion.

BY GEORGE FLYNN

The name "Wedgwood" holds
a mystical attraction for a
certain class of collectors. It's
mention. at a sale or auction,
sets of murmers of curiosity,
followed, often, by keen COM
petition for possession of a
Wedgwood product.
We have long speculated on
how much the attraction is
based on beauty alone, with
out regard to the age of the
Wedgwood piece in question.
1t is a tribute to the Wedg-
wood firm that its output is
priced so highly. yet ironic
that this assumption OF quail
ity leads to the naive concep-
ton that all Wedgwood is old
and therefore. valuable.
The picture to the left Of the
current president of the ia
nous firm shows the firm is
very much in business. A
modern pottery. 1t produces by
masS-production methods. with
only a portion Of it's output
resembling the classic pieces
associated with its name.
Little Mystery
There is little mystery to
Wedgwood. Its great period.
as with many other types of
pottery, came in the 18th CEN
tury when Josiah Wedgwood
perfected his famous cream
ware and jasper ware and de-
