Last Friday I went up to Auckland and spent the day in a giddy whirl of drive-by antiquing, fabric and wallpaper sourcing, and the odd glass of decent wine. We found quite a few lovely Wedgwood pieces for The Wedgwood Room. Here is some of the bounty:
I have been reading Tricia Foley's book At home with Wedgewood. In it there is a chapter on the present Lord Wedgwood, who resides in America with his wife. It shows some lovely photographs of their home,
Below: The Present Lord Wedgwood.
Here are some other pieces I would dearly love to add to the collection...

Black Jasperware
Black Basalt Pieces
Oooh the black jasper draws me in! Sounds like your day in the Big Smoke was a lot of fun. Lord Wedgewood should be an honorary Aussie, he seems to spend so much time out here. He's apparently a charming man. Love all your glorious images.

Thank you Reggie Darling for your comment:
ReplyDelete"That's quite the haul of Wedgwood that you picked up the other day! I have collected black basalt for years, and am always pleased when I find a piece with the Wedgwood mark on it."
I accidentally pressed delete instead of publish!

Lord Cowell,
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a photo I could post on my fledgling blog, and came across your site. The Wedgwood, needless to say, is exquisite, and I would like to use a couple of photos if that is alright - one was the ceiling from Dublin. I will make note of where the photos are from with a link.
Thank you for sharing, and may your endeavor be as successful as you intend.
Many blessings to you,
Marianne
Yes, of course that is fine Marianne. I look forward to following your blog.

Thank you, David. And yes, you are welcome to "visit" any time. As I said, it's a fledgling blog...a little bird with large wings, but I hope she grows into them.
ReplyDeleteMay you have a glorious day!

Hello David, not sure of you heard the sad news of Lord Wedgwood's recent passing. I just stumbled across the fact yesterday. RIP.
