Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Scalloped Candy Box (2)
Presented in this lot are two (2) Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Scalloped Candy Boxes with Lids, Icarus/Daedalus discontinued pattern. Jasperware was the direct result of over 5,000 carefully recorded experiments undertaken over a period of several years. Developed by late 1774, Jasperware comprised a dense white stoneware which accepted colours throughout the entire body. The Wedgwood blue colour was created during Josiah Wedgwood’s trials while he was developing Jasperware. Each candy box is marked with the Wedgwood name and "Made in England" stamped; one has a date stamp code "72". These beautiful and delicate candy boxes are from the 1970s and are in very well preserved condition, no obvious marring noted. Each measures 5" diameter x 2"H approximately.
