There was a widespread fascination with Egypt and Egyptian artefacts in the mid 18th century. Josiah Wedgwood satisfied the demand for Egyptian style ornamental wares with some superb pieces. Among these was the pastille burner, listed in the Shape Number One Book as entry 494. The egg-shaped vase is designed to hold the pastille, the smoke from the burning pastille would then permeate through the exquisitely pierced lid. The most notable feature of this ornament is the three Egyptian columnar supports. Limited Edition of 60 pieces! The Distinguished House of Wedgwood collection celebrates 250 years of commitment to quality, creative design and fine craftsmanship. This is the trademark of Wedgwood. The significance of each piece is a reflection of a manufacturing and decorating process, combining innovation and artistry that is the envy of our industry. Established and new collectors around the world will benefit considerably by investing in the DHOW collection. This will further prove the legacy and relevance of Wedgwood today.
