Wedgwood:
Without doubt the most famous English ceramic manufacturer, Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by the potter of the Staffordshire Josiah Wedgwood (1730-95). The company is renowned for its jasperware - vases, plates and other molded neoclassical sandstone pieces, inspired by ancient cameo glass, with white figures, scenes and decorative elements in relief on a matt colored background. The best known background shade is light blue, but the iconic Wedgwood silhouettes also appear on green, lilac, yellow, black and even white backgrounds. Some pieces use three or more colors.

The Wedgwood firm first made itself known for its dishes, which quickly won the favors of aristocratic households in Great Britain and Europe. In 1765, Wedgwood was responsible for creating a cream earthenware service for Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III. The queen was so enchanted by her new porcelain that Wedgwood obtained permission to call herself "potter of His Majesty", and the decorative style has become known as Queen’s Ware. Not wanting to be outdone, Catherine La Grande de Russia ordered her own Wedgwood porcelain set in 1773. Almost 200 years later, the firm created a service of 1,200 pieces for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In recent years, leading designers such as Jasper Conran and Vera Wang have collaborated with Wedgwood, in the tradition of distinguished artists from the 18th century such as the painter George Stubbs and the locksmith Matthew Boulton.

from plates and other dishes to decorative objects such as ballot boxes, pits and candle holders, Wedgwood designs give a traditional atmosphere to English interiors. And even if you have to make your own tea, you may find comforting to sip it in a delicate cup made in the same stoke-on-Trent oven that produced the tea service of His Majesty. Do not forget to get your little finger.
