Jasperware, is a type of fine-grained, unglazed stoneware introduced by the English potter Josiah Wedgwood in 1775 as the result of a long series of experiments aimed at discovering the techniques of porcelain manufacture. Its name derives from the fact that it resembles the natural stone jasper in its hardness. Jasperware was the direct result of over 5,000 carefully recorded experiments undertaken over a period of several years. Developed by late 1774, Jasperware comprised a dense white stoneware which accepted colours throughout the entire body.
