A stunning piece of English ceramic artistry, this Wedgwood Black Jasperware medallion is beautifully presented in a gold-framed display box with rich mustard velvet matting — ready to hang and instantly elevate any space.
The circular medallion features Wedgwood’s iconic matte black Jasperware ground, adorned with a crisp white sprigged relief depicting a procession of classical putti (cherubs) in a neoclassical scene. One cherub plays a horn, another raises a torch above an altar urn, a third carries an olive branch, and a small animal rests at their feet — a motif rooted in the 18th-century designs of sculptor John Flaxman, who created some of Wedgwood’s most beloved decorative imagery.
The back is impressed WEDGWOOD / MADE IN ENGLAND, dating this piece to the mid-20th century. The presentation frame features a reeded gold molding with beaded inner detail — a classic display format that suits both traditional and eclectic interiors.
A sophisticated accent for a library, parlor, or gallery wall — and a wonderful gift for the collector who loves English ceramics, neoclassical art, or fine decorative antiques.
