History: This elegant triangular dish is a fine example of Wedgwood’s iconic jasperware, produced in a serene pale blue with neoclassical white bas-relief. The central scene depicts what appears to be a scene of benevolent counsel or guidance, a motif often found in Wedgwood designs inspired by classical antiquity. Surrounding the scene is an oak leaf and acorn garland with floral accents, framed with precision and delicacy.
 
 
Made in England and clearly impressed with Wedgwood’s hallmark, this piece is from the second half of the 20th century, likely 1970s to 1980s, based on the font and mold detail. Jasperware items like this were commonly used for decorative display, jewelry holders, or as part of boxed gift sets.
 
 
A fine collector’s dish in excellent aesthetic shape, it represents the timeless appeal of Wedgwood’s refined craftsmanship. A delightful piece for any collector of English ceramics or neoclassical decorative ware.
