EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph by W. Griggs, titled 'Frederick Rathbone's Old Wedgwood: The Decorative or Artistic Ceramic Work Produced by Josiah Wedgwood,' showcases an exquisite collection of teapots, cups, and saucers adorned with intricate designs inspired by mythology and nature. At the center of the image, a teapot in the shape of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, is depicted with Cupid, the god of desire, playfully perched on her shoulder. The teapot's elegant curves and delicate reliefs of the mythological figures are accentuated by the contrasting colors and fine details of the chromolithograph. To the left, a cup and saucer with a medallion featuring a scene of Venus and Cupid in a garden of roses is displayed. The intricate design of the medallion is surrounded by a border of foliage, festoons, and arabesque patterns, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece. To the right, a teapot with reliefs inspired by Lady Templeton's design is depicted. The teapot's body is adorned with intricate floral patterns and scrollwork, while the handle and spout are shaped like branches with leaves and berries. The accompanying cup and saucer feature similar designs, making for a cohesive and visually stunning set. This chromolithograph provides a glimpse into the artistic and decorative ceramic work produced by Josiah Wedgwood, a renowned English potter and businessman. The intricate designs and mythological themes showcase the artistic vision and craftsmanship of the Wedgwood company during the late 19th century. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for vibrant colors and fine details, further enhances the beauty and allure of these ceramic pieces.
