What do we know about Josiah? Josiah Wedgwood FRS was an English potter, entrepreneur and abolitionist. Founding the Wedgwood company in 1759, he developed improved pottery bodies by systematic experimentation, and was the leader in the industrialisation of the manufacture of European pottery. Wedgwood was keenly interested in the scientific advances of his day and it was this interest that underpinned his adoption of its approach and methods to revolutionise the quality of his pottery.

His unique glazes began to distinguish his wares from anything else on the market. By 1763, he was receiving orders from the highest-ranking people, including Queen Charlotte. , and trumpeted the royal association in his paperwork and stationery.

Anything Wedgwood made for the Queen was automatically exhibited before it was delivered. In 1764, he received his first order from abroad. In 1767 he wrote, The demand for this sd. Creamcolour, Alias, Queen Ware, Alias, Ivory, still increases - It is amazing how rapidly the use of it has spread all most over the whole Globe. The photos of this ring are not photo shopped, the photos are of the actual ring you will receive.
