Wedgwood Green Jasperware Oval Plaque 18thC Classical Relief 14cm

Indulge in the timeless refinement of this authentic 18th century Wedgwood green jasperware oval plaque – a distinguished piece of early English neoclassical design, perfect for the serious collector and the design-conscious interior alike.

Expertly crafted in Wedgwood’s iconic green jasperware, this elegant oval plaque showcases the brand’s renowned mastery of fine stoneware. The cool, matte green body provides a sophisticated backdrop for the crisp, white classical relief, creating a striking contrast that has made Wedgwood jasperware sought after by collectors for over two centuries.

Dating to the 18th century, this plaque represents an early period in Wedgwood’s production, when quality, refinement and innovation were at their peak. It bears a small mark to the reverse, consistent with early Wedgwood pieces, and displays the subtle character and patina that only genuine period examples acquire over time.

Measuring approximately 14cm x 9cm, the plaque is a beautifully proportioned oval – large enough to make an impact, yet compact enough to sit gracefully in a cabinet, on a mantel, or as part of a gallery wall. The oval form is particularly elegant and lends itself perfectly to classical subjects, making it a superb focal point in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Condition & Notes
The plaque is in good antique condition, especially considering its 18th century date. There is a note of possible later repainting or touching-up around the rim, likely carried out after removal from a piece of furniture or frame. This is not uncommon in early jasperware plaques and does not detract from the overall beauty or display value of the piece. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description, and feel free to ask any questions.

For Collectors & Interior Designers

This piece is an excellent opportunity for collectors of Wedgwood jasperware, Georgian ceramics and fine English pottery to acquire an early example with real presence. Its restrained palette and classical styling make it exceptionally versatile: it works beautifully in a period scheme alongside mahogany furniture and gilt frames, but is equally striking in a modern, minimalist setting where its clean lines and subtle colour can truly stand out.

For decorators and stylists, this plaque offers an effortless way to introduce a note of luxury and heritage. Group it with other jasperware pieces for a curated display, or let it stand alone as a refined accent on a console, desk or bookshelf. The distinctive Wedgwood green is particularly effective against neutral walls and natural wood, adding a touch of colour without overwhelming the space.
