WEDGWOOD: THE FELIX JOSEPH COLLECTION OF 18th CENTURY JASPER
Wedgwood: The Felix Joseph Collection of 18th century Jasper
______________________________________________________
The Felix Joseph collection at Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery is a rare survival of a complete Victorian collection of 18th century Wedgewood Jasper. It includes over 1400 pieces, ranging in size from the largest vases to the tiniest of cameos. The majority of the collection dates from the period of the first Josiah Wedgwood.
Felix Joseph, like many other Victorian collectors of Wedgwood, was fascinated by Jasper, the ceramic body that Josiah Wedgwood invented in the mid 1770’s in response to the fashion for neo-classical designs.
The collection is well known and widely illustrated in the literature on Wedgwood. Loans from the collection have been made to most of the major Wedgwood exhibitions in the UK and internationally, with sixty pieces touring to Japan and Warsaw in 2000-2001.
This book catalogues the collection giving the history of both Josiah Wedgewood and Felix Joseph, the ‘Generous benefactor’.
