Wedgwood
Also recorded as: Josiah Wedgwood and Sons · Josiah Wedgwood
Staffordshire pottery whose jasperware and basalt were used for clock cases and plaques.
Josiah Wedgwood founded his pottery in 1759 and developed black basalt and jasperware stoneware in the 1760s–70s. Clockmakers set movements in Wedgwood cases or decorated cases with jasperware plaques and cameos in the neo-classical taste; the catalogue records such clocks from museum collections.
