The Wedgewood story began in 1759 when founder, Josiah Wedgwood I, aged just 29, started as an independent potter in Burslem, England.
Josiah Wedgwood experimented avidly with clay, exploring its many possibilities. His pioneer spirit, vigorous design policy, and his commitment to exacting standards of quality are values that over 260 years later remain at the heart of the brand today.
