ABOUT THE BOOK Josiah Wedgwood I was born into a family of potters; his pioneering spirit built up the most important English pottery business of the eighteenth century so that the name Wedgwood became a generic word for fine earthenware.

This book also reviews and illustrates the firm's products through the nineteenth century, the designs of Lessore, Dresser, Crane and Barnard, the resurgence after 1904 when John Goodwin became art director, and the subsequent re-establishment of the firm's essential greatness. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Robert Copeland, son of Gresham Copeland, partner in the family-owned Spode factory in Stoke-on-Trent, joined the firm in 1943; he is now historical consultant to Spode Ltd.
