A vintage Wedgwood blue and white Jasperware ashtray with grapevine motif. 3.5” In Box

Wedgwood Jasperware is a type of unglazed stoneware developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s. It is characterized by its matte finish and the application of raised white reliefs, often depicting classical figures, mythological scenes, or natural motifs like vines and leaves. The distinctive blue color, known as "Wedgwood blue," is one of its most iconic shades.

This particular piece, featuring a grapevine and leaf motif, is a classic example of Wedgwood's decorative artistry. While often used as ashtrays, these small dishes also served as trinket dishes or decorative plates, showcasing the versatility and enduring appeal of Jasperware. Pieces like this were produced throughout the 20th century, maintaining the brand's commitment to quality and traditional design.
