EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Regal Display of Wedgwood Ceramics: Chatelaine, Vase, and Sword This chromolithograph by W. Griggs, taken from Frederick Rathbone's Old Wedgwood, showcases an exquisite collection of mounted Wedgwood ceramics. The image features a chatelaine, a decorative belt accessory, made of steel and gold. Adorning the chatelaine are various attachments, including a vase and a court sword. The vase, formed of a basalt sucrier, ormolu, and marble, is a stunning example of the artistic fusion of different materials. The basalt sucrier provides a rich, dark contrast to the ormolu, a type of gilded metal, and the pristine white marble. The vase's intricate design is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of the Wedgwood pottery. The court sword, hand-wrought in steel, adds an air of regality to the ensemble. The hilt, adorned with intricate gold detailing, is a marvel of artistry and functionality. The sword's presence emphasizes the historical significance of these ceramics, as they were often used as status symbols during the 18th and 19th centuries. The chromolithograph, published in 1898, is a beautiful documentation of these magnificent pieces. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of Josiah Wedgwood's decorative and artistic ceramic work, which continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike. This image is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a reminder of the enduring allure of Wedgwood ceramics, which have graced the tables and shelves of homes and museums for centuries. The intricate details, the harmonious blend of materials, and the timeless elegance of these pieces make them an essential part of the ceramics world.
