Extremely Rare Late 18th-Century Wedgwood Jasperware Scent Bottle – Light Blue – Museum-Caliber
Circa 1780–1795 – Medium Size – Remarkable Detail
A highly rare and visually enchanting Wedgwood light blue jasperware perfume or scent bottle dating from the late 18th century. This museum-quality piece features charming neoclassical scenes of infants playing with a doll, birds, and plants, surrounded by elegant foliate reliefs. Topped with an ornate original metal cap with loop, the craftsmanship and subject matter place it among the most collectible of Wedgwood miniature forms.
While this delicate piece has been broken and rejoined in its long history, it remains structurally intact and retains its powerful display appeal. The reglued joint is clearly visible in the photos, but the integrity of the relief decoration remains strong, making it a desirable addition for advanced collectors of 18th-century Wedgwood.
