Wedgwood Jasperware Crimson Cup & Saucer Set stoneware Red White Relief Jasper, synonymous with Wedgwood, is a stoneware that was born in 1775. The elegant texture and gentle color of the matte finish, as well as the delicate relief decoration, are the hallmarks of the brand's craftsmanship. In white cameo reliefs; Wedgwood impressed mark on base. Little signs of use, in very good condition. See pictures. Cup D2.55×H2.67"/D6.5×6.8cm Saucer D4.72"/12cm Red is considered the rarest and the most darling of colors. Only produced in a short window of time, it is extremely hard to find pieces of this variety. Initially introduced into Josiah's repertoire of different colors in the late 19th century, short production was suspended by 1910. Discontinued due to its difficulty in craft (color bleeding was the main culprit), the number of unacceptable pieces from the kiln made this color unprofitable. Because of the small number produced, this color is highly collectible on the market. In recent years, this rare art demands the highest prices, with even insignificant shapes taking ten times the price of significant shapes in a different colour. Will be shipped well packaged by track and trace.
