This Wedgwood Jasperware cake plate is finished in a soft lilac ground, contrasted with crisp white classical reliefs. At the centre is Aurora, goddess of the dawn, shown driving her chariot across the clouds — a motif long associated with renewal, light, and classical mythology.
The border is richly detailed with applied grapevine swags, scrolling foliage, and stylised ram’s heads, all executed in Wedgwood’s signature matte Jasperware finish. The combination of colour, sculptural detail, and symmetry makes this piece equally suited to use or display.
