Luxury, Heritage & Versatility
Wedgwood has been synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship and refined taste since the 18th century. This pendant encapsulates that legacy: the Dancing Hours design is one of Wedgwood’s most celebrated neoclassical subjects, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. The large scale of this medallion makes it particularly impressive when worn, yet its classic styling ensures it remains tasteful and timeless rather than ostentatious.
This piece can be worn as a dramatic statement pendant on a long chain, velvet ribbon or silk cord, or displayed as a small decorative plaque within a collection of Wedgwood jasperware. Whether you are a dedicated Wedgwood collector, a lover of vintage costume jewellery, or simply appreciate refined design, this pendant offers a rare opportunity to own a wearable work of ceramic art.
Condition & Presentation
The medallion is in good condition, with no chips, cracks or restoration observed. The relief decoration remains crisp and well-defined, and the jasperware body retains its attractive matte finish. As a vintage item, minor signs of age and previous handling should be expected, but there is no structural damage to detract from its beauty or wearability.
