Masterpieces of Wedgwood in the British Museum

This revised edition draws on the masterpieces of the British Museum's collection to present a history of the golden age of the Wedgewood factory. It describes the achievements of the founder of the firm, Josiah Wedgwood, and uses letters and documents to reveal his close relationship with modellers, painters and sculptors. The Pegasus and Portland Vases are both considered in detail and the author goes on to trace the subsequent development of the firm into the 20th century.
