Lot Essay

Jasperware was developed by Wedgwood around 1775 and was designed to evoke and take advantage of the taste for the ‘Antique.’ Wedgwood was a keen promoter of his wares and had a brisk export trade. He appointed the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre as his agent in Paris and as such, Daguerre essentially controlled the import of Wedgwood jasperware into France.
