Description:
Sugar dish with sprig molded floral motif in dyed blue clay on a paneled vessel body. This vessel is part of a largely complete tea set previously owned by the Ogle family, former owners of Belair Mansion, Bowie, Maryland. The sugar dish bears the impressed mark of John Wedge Wood, in business in Staffordshire England between 1841 to 1860 (Godden 1964). Wood apparently tried to capitalize off the reputation of Josiah Wedgwood's firm by marking his wares in a manner that would be easily mistaken for the better known firm. Note the small space between the G and the W in Wedgwood. Josiah Wedgwood's firm also never used the initial J. in their marks.
