Jasper-ware is a fine-grained unglazed stone-ware that was first introduced by Josiah Wedgwood in 1775. Decorations, in the Neoclassical style and usually white, were made in separate molds and applied to the body of the piece. Objects made of jasper were varied and included vases, plaques, tableware, cameos, furniture mounts, and portrait medallions. Jasper-ware is still produced Wedgwood.
