Pair of Wedgwood jade green-colored jasperware ashtrays. These both are in great condition with no chips or cracks. Maker's mark on the bottom of each piece. The set is “Jasperware,” a porcelain bisque with bas-relief (raised) cameos depicting Egyptian, Greek classical figures and various other motifs. Wedgwood, one of the world’s most successful potteries, was founded by Josiah Wedgwood, who was considered a cripple by his brother and was forbidden to work at the family business. The pottery was established in England in 1759. The company used a variety of marks, including Wedgwood, Wedgwood & Bentley, Wedgwood & Sons, and Wedgwood's Stone China. A large variety of wares has been made, including the well-known jasperware, basalt, creamware, and even a limited amount of porcelain. Queensware, a cream-colored pottery developed by Josiah Wedgwood, was a popular dinnerware by 1765. There are two kinds of jasperware. One is made from two colors of clay, the other is made from one color of clay with a color dip to create the contrast in design. In 1986 Wedgwood and Waterford Crystal merged to form the Waterford Wedgwood Group.

One of the ashtray has some cracks and dirt in one cameo, noticeable in the pics we uploaded for the listing. The second piece is in a great condition. We believe that as a set they are in good vintage condition!
