WEDGWOOD JASPER VASE.
By courtesy of Messrs. Josiah Wedgwood & Sons.
Of the celebrated basaltes or black ware, sometimes called Egyptian ware, the vase we reproduce as the first made at Etruria was of this class, and we give two other examples.
We give two very beautiful specimens of the Jasper ware. This wonderful ware was made in seven colours: blue, lilac, pink, sage-green, olive-green, black, and yellow. Specimens of this last colour are very rare.

“Future ages may view the productions of the age of George III. with the same veneration that we now behold those of Alexander and Augustus,” writes Wedgwood of his cameo portraits, with fine enthusiasm.
