Wedgwood Jasperware Bacchanalian Triumph Plaque, Josiah Wedgwood 18th C

Presenting an elegant and evocative 18th century Wedgwood jasperware plaque, finely modelled with the classical scene of the Bacchanalian Triumph. This refined piece, attributed to the era of Josiah Wedgwood, showcases the artistry and technical brilliance that established Wedgwood as the pre-eminent name in English neoclassical ceramics.

Crafted in high-quality jasperware, this rectangular plaque displays a beautifully detailed procession inspired by ancient Roman and Greek mythology. Figures, drapery, and attributes of Bacchus are crisply rendered, demonstrating the precision and sculptural quality that collectors seek in early Wedgwood relief work. The classical subject, with its sense of movement and celebration, makes this an especially attractive decorative piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Measuring approximately 28cm x 10cm, the plaque is an ideal size for display in a cabinet, on a stand, or mounted within a frame. Its elongated format lends itself particularly well to hanging as a focal point above a mantelpiece, in a study, library, or drawing room. The cool, refined jasperware body and contrasting relief decoration exemplify the timeless sophistication associated with Georgian neoclassical design.

This Wedgwood Bacchanalian Triumph plaque is not only a decorative object but also a piece of ceramic history. Wedgwood’s jasperware, developed in the late 18th century under Josiah Wedgwood’s direct supervision, was celebrated for its innovative composition, matte finish, and ability to take sharply defined reliefs. Such plaques were prized by discerning patrons of the period and remain highly desirable among collectors of antique Wedgwood, jasperware, and fine English pottery.
