Antique Wedgwood Jasperware Jardiniere Planter Early 19thC 18.5cm

Elevate your interior with this exquisite early 19th century Wedgwood jasperware jardiniere planter, a refined example of classic British neoclassical design. Crafted by the world-renowned Wedgwood manufactory, this elegant planter embodies the sophistication, artistry, and technical excellence that made Wedgwood a benchmark of luxury ceramics across Europe.

This antique Wedgwood jardiniere is fashioned in the iconic jasperware body for which the factory is celebrated. Jasperware, developed in the late 18th century by Josiah Wedgwood, is a fine, unglazed stoneware known for its smooth, velvety surface and its ability to carry crisp, detailed relief decoration. The early 19th century examples, such as this one, are particularly prized by collectors for their depth of colour, balance of form, and refined modelling.

With a height of approximately 18.5 cm, this jardiniere is a versatile size: substantial enough to make a statement, yet perfectly proportioned for display on a console table, mantelpiece, sideboard, or as a focal point on a windowsill. Its classic cylindrical form and harmonious proportions reflect Wedgwood’s neoclassical aesthetics, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art and architecture.

The surface is adorned with intricate jasperware relief decoration, showcasing the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of early 19th century Wedgwood production. The crisp, raised motifs stand out beautifully against the matte ground, creating a striking contrast that highlights every fine detail. This combination of colour and relief is one of the defining features of authentic antique Wedgwood jasperware and is highly sought after by discerning collectors.

This luxury antique planter is ideal for displaying a favourite houseplant, small topiary, or floral arrangement, but it is equally impressive as a standalone decorative object. Whether placed in a traditional drawing room, a refined study, or a curated modern interior, it brings with it a sense of heritage, artistry, and understated opulence. The timeless palette and classical styling allow it to blend seamlessly with both antique and contemporary pieces.

Collectors of antique British pottery, Georgian and Regency-period ceramics, and historic Wedgwood jasperware will appreciate the authenticity and period charm of this jardiniere. Early 19th century Wedgwood pieces are increasingly scarce, and examples of this quality and condition are especially desirable. It offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a piece that not only enhances an interior, but also represents a significant chapter in the history of English ceramic design.
