For years, we ordered directly from the factory in England ... when they announced a new color ... and also ordered more- WEDGWOOD BLUE. (smaller box listed, too).
The color was created during Josiah Wedgwood’s trials while he was developing Jasperware - he carried out many experiments, grinding colors to achieve a range of hues.
The choice of colors was dictated by the shades most favored for neo-classical interiors by the modish architects, particularly Adam and Wyatt.
The iconic light blue jasper he developed gave rise to the expression "Wedgwood Blue" ...
Wedgwood blue continues to inspire around the world.
From home interiors, lifestyle and fashion to the Bridgerton boom on Netflix.

The set of the home in Bridgerton is even described as, ‘like being inside a piece of Wedgwood ceramic’.
The soft blues and creams mirror subtle elegancy and high society, something which has carried through generations less
