Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Lidded Trinket Box with Neo Classical Relief

A refined Wedgwood blue jasperware lidded box, featuring the iconic matte periwinkle-blue ground with crisp applied white classical reliefs, a hallmark of Wedgwood’s neoclassical production. The box is beautifully proportioned with softly rounded square form and fitted lid, decorated throughout with classical motifs inspired by antiquity. The lid is centered with a classical figural scene depicting draped female figures in motion, rendered in white relief against the blue jasper ground. This imagery is drawn from Neoclassical designs popularized by John Flaxman in the late 18th century and widely used by Wedgwood as an homage to Greco-Roman art. The figures symbolize harmony, beauty, and idealized form—core themes of the Neoclassical movement. A delicate laurel leaf border frames the lid, while the sides are adorned with floral rosettes and stylized anthemion motifs, all applied by hand. The underside bears the impressed “WEDGWOOD / MADE IN ENGLAND” mark, dating the piece to the 20th c
