Indulge in the timeless elegance of this authentic 19th-century Wedgwood Jasperware round medallion, exquisitely crafted in the classic lilac hue. This refined piece of antique English pottery embodies the grace, artistry, and neoclassical style that made Wedgwood a byword for luxury porcelain and fine ceramics across Europe and beyond.

Created in the 1800s, this antique Jasperware medallion showcases the meticulous detail, crisp relief work, and harmonious proportions that define Wedgwood’s most celebrated designs. The soft lilac ground offers a sophisticated alternative to the more commonly seen blue, making this medallion a particularly attractive and distinctive addition to any curated collection of Wedgwood, Jasperware, or 19th-century decorative arts.

Measuring approximately 5cm in diameter, the medallion is perfectly sized for display in a cabinet, on a small stand, or as part of a framed arrangement of classical plaques and cameos. Its compact scale belies its presence: the fine modelling and subtle contrast between the matte lilac body and the raised white relief give it a quietly luxurious, museum-quality feel.

Condition is good for an antique piece of this age. The medallion presents well, with age-appropriate signs of wear consistent with careful handling and long-term preservation. The surface retains its characteristic Jasperware texture and tone, enhancing its authenticity and appeal to serious collectors.

This 19th-century Wedgwood Jasperware lilac medallion is ideal for:

  • Collectors of Wedgwood and Jasperware seeking a refined, genuine 19th-century example in an elegant lilac shade.
  • Connoisseurs of antique English pottery who appreciate historic craftsmanship and classical design.
  • Interior designers and stylists looking for a discreet yet luxurious decorative accent for a cabinet of curiosities, a mantelpiece, or a curated display.
