A stunning and exceptionally scarce Wedgwood saucer dating to the late 18th century, crafted in dark blue dip jasperware featuring engine-turned detailing and a yellow quatrefoil centerpiece, adorned with classic white reliefs.
This piece combines technical mastery and elegant design—a rare example of the experimentation and refinement Wedgwood brought to jasperware during the late Georgian period.
