As recent converts to the pleasures of Wedgwood Jasperware, andhaving a longtime association with Attic Red and Black-figured vases, we have a particular fascination with the images involved. We have quickly become aware of the pitfalls in dating Jasperware, and that seems inevitable, but we have also found it difficult to identify the subject matter of the bas-relief images. No doubt there are learned works on the subject - but we don't have much access to them.
It is our intention here to begin a catalogue of our own images for our own benefit - but, also in the hope that others will enjoy it, and hopefully help us with identification. Since eBay limits us to ten pictures in each guide, these will come in batches of ten - which is quite enough for us to deal withfor the moment!
AGKC-1 - The Three Graces - William Hackwood, ca. 1773
AGKC-2 - Terpsichore - John Flaxman, ca. 1776/7
AGKC-3 - Bellerophon watering Pegasus - attr. William Hackman, ca. 1773
AGKC-4 - Group with Cage - unknown
AGKC-5 - Ulysses staying the Chariot of Victory - attr. William Hackwood, ca. 1773
AGKC-6 - The Muses watering Pegasus - attr. John Flaxman or William Hackwood, ca. 1775
AGKC-7 - Cupid as Oracle - unknown
AGKC-8 - Calliope - John Flaxman, ca. 1776/7
AGKC-9 - Nike and Warrior - unknown, late 1770's
AGKC-10 - Melpomene - John Flaxman, ca. 1776/7
More soon in "Bas-reliefs on Wedgwood Jasperware - part 2". Meanwhile, we need the interest, support, feedback, and friendship of all the Jasperware lovers on eBay.
We still haven't got this figured out, but if we say we are to be found at AGKC Penthouse Gallerythen you will probably know what to do.
