Wedgwood Blue Jasperware 225th Anniversary Limited Edition Bowl 1984

Celebrate the legacy of England’s most iconic pottery house with this distinguished Wedgwood 225th Anniversary limited edition blue jasperware bowl, produced in 1984 to mark over two centuries of exceptional craftsmanship from 1759–1984.

Beautifully executed in Wedgwood’s classic pale blue jasper with contrasting white reliefs, this commemorative bowl pays homage to the brand’s illustrious history and to its founder, Josiah Wedgwood, alongside Sarah Wedgwood. The finely modelled white bas-relief portraits are framed by an elegant Arabesque design, creating a refined and timeless neoclassical aesthetic that is instantly recognisable as Wedgwood at its best.

On the underside, in rich gold script, the bowl is inscribed:

“Wedgwood 225th Anniversary 1759 – 1984 Number 50 in a limited edition of 225”

This confirms it as a numbered limited edition piece, No. 50 of only 225, making it a particularly desirable acquisition for the serious Wedgwood collector. In addition, the base is impressed with the factory marks:

“1759 – 1984 Wedgwood Made in England”

These marks authenticate the bowl as an original Wedgwood production created specifically for the 225th Anniversary celebrations.
