Jasperware, or Jasper Ware, is a type of pottery first developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1700s. It has an unglazed “biscuit” finish and is produced in several different colours, though the “Wedgwood Blue” is the most famous. Wedgwood cameos became highly fashionable in the late 1700s and 1800s, especially among those embracing the neoclassical revival—a movement celebrating classical antiquity. Jasperware, patented in 1775, became a hallmark of Wedgwood’s artistry. These cameos were cherished for their refined elegance
 
Sourced in France and curated by Paris-based Vivienne Birt for Chateau Love, this vintage Wedgwood pendant-brooch embodies the timeless sophistication and meticulous artistry that defines our carefully selected chateau-worthy collection of luxurious antique and vintage jewelry.
