A Purer Taste of Forms and Ornaments: Josiah Wedgwood and the Antique
Now Through February 21, 2010
In 1759, the young Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795), who would become one of England’s most famous potters, established his first factory at the Ivy House Works in Burslem, England. A Purer Taste of Forms and Ornaments: Josiah Wedgwood and the Antique celebrates the 250th anniversary of this vastly influential factory and its extraordinary founder. --- From the Philadelphia Museum of Art web site: http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/
