Griffins were mythical creatures with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. They probably originated in Near Eastern art and mythology, though they arrived in Greece at a very early period. According to the Greeks, the Griffins lived at the very edge of the world, where they hoarded gold and battled the legendary race of the one-eyed Arimaspians.This elegant Wedgwood bone china Columbia Gold Sage Green pattern was first produced in 1966 and discontinued in 2014.

CRAZING: Crazing is the fine crackling one often sees on many glazed pottery pieces and on certain types of antique porcelain. Crazing is in the glaze and is not detectable when one rubs his or her fingernail over the crazing. Art pottery crazing occurs during pottery production when the clay body and glaze cool at different rates. Crazing is a very common condition with virtually all glazed art pottery. Normal crazing or crackling that can not be seen at a few feet does not typically affect the value of most very high quality art pottery pieces. This information came from an article by Harry Rinkler titled “Dating China Heirlooms” WEDGWOOD CHINA CO. ENGLAND: 1730 - 1766 Josiah Wedgwood (Josiah) was born at the Church Yard Pottery in Burslem, Staffordshire. Josiah was the 12th and last child of Thomas Wedgwood and Mary Wedgwood. Josiah began his ceramic innovations with the introduction of creamware tableware, made from refined earthenware with a lead glaze. Josiah opened his first London Showroom on Cateaton Street. Queen Charlotte of England requested a creamware tea and coffee service, Josiah took this opportunity to request permission to style himself “Potter to Her Majesty”, his request was granted. His creamware was subsequently referred to as “Queen’s Ware” on delivery of the set in 1766. 1769 – 1783 Josiah opened ‘Etruria Works’ and entered into a formal business partnership with the Liverpool merchant, Thomas Bentley. The First Day’s Vases were produced and known to be personally thrown by Josiah, two are available to see at the Wedgwood Museum. The first Jasper colour trials are carried out, the beginning of a 200-year journey of Jasperware. In the meantime, Josiah invented a pyrometer to measure the temperatures inside the pottery kilns and was the first to measure temperatures above 360° Fahrenheit. The measurements are in degrees Wedgwood. In 1783, Josiah was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in London. 1795-1964 Josiah Wedgwood passed away and John Wedgwood (John), Josiah’s son, founded the Royal Horticultural Society with seven of his friends. John’s son, Charles Darwin, was born and was destined for greatness. The Wedgwood brand went on to introduce translucent bone china, England’s answer to European Porcelain. The first printed back stamp appeared on Wedgwood ware. New production techniques were tested and a three-letter code was impressed onto the base of each Wedgwood piece that denoted the month, potter and year of manufacture. A little later, 1,296 pieces of armorial bone china was ordered for the White House by the 28th US President, Theodore Roosevelt. Edme Queensware was then created for Pannier Freres in Paris and from 1910 and ‘Made in England’ was introduced on all designs. Josiah Wedgwood Inc, New York, was founded - making the Wedgwood brand international. Wedgwood purchased land in Barlaston in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and built a new factory where the first Brown Boveri electric powered kiln fired up, superseding two centuries of coal. 1980-2019 Wedgwood was granted the Royal warrant from Her Majesty the Queen and substantial investments were made into new manufacturing equipment and increased production capacity. This period saw collaborations with artists and designers including Kit Kemp, Paul Costello, Jasper Conran, Vera Wang, Nick Monro and Kelly Hoppen. Wedgwood continued to develop its relationships and began a three-year partnership with the RHS. Wedgwood went onto receive Gold for the first Wedgwood Show Garden at RHS Chatsworth Flower Show with Garden Designer Sam Ovens. Wedgwood then went onto win Gold at RHS Chelsea Flower Show with Garden Designer Jo Thompson in 2018.
