Indulge in the timeless elegance of this exceptional Wedgwood Blue Jasperware “Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne” Plaque, a refined statement piece for the serious collector of fine English pottery and neoclassical art. Meticulously crafted in Wedgwood’s iconic matte blue jasperware and presented in an attractive frame, this plaque brings together mythological subject matter, historical significance and decorative sophistication in one luxurious display piece.
Wedgwood’s blue jasperware is world-renowned for its distinctive colour, silky biscuit finish and crisp white reliefs. This plaque showcases those qualities beautifully: the rich blue ground provides a serene backdrop to the finely modelled white figures, capturing the Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne in exquisite detail. The scene, drawn from classical mythology, depicts Bacchus (Dionysus), god of wine and revelry, and Ariadne, symbolising love, transformation and celebration. The result is a striking fusion of art, history and decorative design that will elevate any interior.
Housed in a complementary frame, this Wedgwood plaque is ready to hang and display. The framing not only protects the jasperware but also enhances its presence on the wall, making it an ideal focal point over a console, in a dining room, library, hallway or curated gallery wall. Whether you are building a collection of Wedgwood jasperware, decorating a period home, or simply seeking a luxurious accent with classical charm, this piece offers both beauty and distinction.

Design & Craftsmanship
Wedgwood jasperware is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, and this plaque is a classic example. The raised white relief is sharply defined, highlighting the flowing drapery, expressive figures and intricate details of the mythological procession. Against the deep blue background, every element stands out with sculptural clarity. The tactile, unglazed surface gives the piece a refined, porcelain-like quality that is instantly recognisable to connoisseurs of Wedgwood.
The framed presentation adds a further layer of sophistication. The frame has been chosen to complement the plaque’s colour and style, allowing the artwork to take centre stage while still feeling complete and ready for immediate display. This combination of artistry, material quality and decorative impact makes the plaque an excellent choice for both seasoned collectors and those seeking a single standout piece.
Decorative & Collectible Appeal
This blue jasperware Bacchus and Ariadne plaque is as versatile as it is beautiful. It works harmoniously in classic, traditional, Regency and Georgian-inspired interiors, yet it can also provide a striking contrast in contemporary spaces, where its historical subject and refined palette lend a curated, gallery-like feel.
Collectors will appreciate the plaque’s subject matter and execution, while interior decorators will value its scale, colour and decorative presence. It pairs beautifully with other Wedgwood pieces, antique prints, gilt mirrors and fine porcelain, but it is equally impressive as a standalone feature.
