Affordable Luxury
An innovator in the production of pottery, as well as in the way it was
marketed and sold, Josiah Wedgwood rose from a tradesman to become one of
the most successful businessmen of his era. Inventing materials that are
still used today, he built a company that has always been associated with
quality. Through his commitment to making luxury affordable, Wedgwood
forever changed the art and craft of pottery and even affected British
society. Design by Wedgwood Celebrating the 260th anniversary of formation
of Wedgwood, the £2 Wedgwood coin was designed by the company that carries
his name to this day. The primary image features an interpretation of the
Jasperware vase that is perhaps the companies best known product. The vase
created by Josiah Wedgwood took some four years to perfect and is
considered by many to be his crowning achievement.
