Description

English potter (1730-1795) credited with the industrialization of the manufacture of pottery. He was a member of the Darwin-Wedgwood family, most famously including his grandson, Charles Darwin. Enormous vellum manuscript DS, signed “Jos. Wedgwood,” two pages, 32.75 x 26, October 30, 1779. A lengthy reconveyance of property signed at the bottom by Josiah Wedgwood, and countersigned by Sir William Meredith and one other, each signing next to a red wax seal. In fine condition, with a slightly musty odor.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
