A silversmith made it wearable. Both knew what they were doing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Wedgwood blue jasperware brooch mounted in a sterling silver beaded frame: the jasperware an oval plaque in the classic mid-blue ground with white sprig relief, the scene a multi-figure neoclassical processional — five or six figures in classical dress moving across a ground line, a figure with a lyre or harp among them, attendants and a seated figure completing the composition. The subject is drawn from Wedgwood's neoclassical pattern library, itself derived from the antique sources that obsessed 18th-century Europe. The blue is vivid and completely even; the white relief is crisp and clean, the figure detail sharp and undiminished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is a continuous beaded milgrain oval border in sterling silver, the beads tight and even around the full perimeter, the silver carrying a soft natural oxidation in the bead recesses that confirms both age and genuine metal. The reverse shows the Wedgwood impressed mark — WEDGWOOD, ENGLAND, and a date letter — clearly legible on the jasperware back. The silver frame carries hallmarks to the inner rim. The brooch fitting is a hinged roller-pin with a folding safety catch, both intact and fully functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Particulars:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Wedgwood; impressed mark WEDGWOOD \/ ENGLAND \/ date letter to reverse of jasperware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Blue jasperware plaque; sterling silver beaded oval frame; hallmarked silver to inner frame rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScene: Multi-figure neoclassical classical processional; figures with lyre, attendants, seated figure; white sprig relief on mid-blue ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting: Hinged roller-pin brooch with folding safety catch; intact and functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent.
