Nautilus Centerpiece by Wedgwood

Josiah Wedgwood, founder of Wedgwood China in England in the mid-1700s, was a conchologist. That is, he was very interested in the study and classification of seashells. Josiah was a regular on the beaches of England, always searching for rare shells to add to his collection and to use as subjects for modeling new dinnerware patterns and pieces. A great example of the seashell heritage at Wedgwood is evident in one of this month’s special features, a centerpiece in the Nautilus pattern by Wedgwood. This centerpiece is made from white bone china and is designed in the form of a beautiful nautilus shell resting on a reef pedestal. The Nautilus centerpiece works very well with a large number of white or cream-colored china patterns. Wedgwood first created the Nautilus pattern to provide shell-themed accent pieces for the very popular Oceanside whiteware china pattern. Oceanside features traditional dinnerware shapes that are accented with embossed seashells.
