Wedgwood Josiah Wedgwood started the Wedgwood factory in Georgian Staffordshire in 1759 - one of the first true factories producing ceramics. Other early potters are Bow, Chelsea and Caughley. Before that, pottery was more of a cottage industry. The Wedgwood factory existed through the Victorian and Edwardian periods and still produces ceramics today. Over the last two hundred years, they have made porcelain, pottery, jasperware, caneware, pearlware, basalt and terra cotta. Antique Wedgwood is highly collectible. |
