Other information:
 The exhibition features some twenty Wedgwood objects—including a monumental “Krater” vase, made in about 1790, from the Museum’s collection—decorated in imitation of the red-figure vase painting of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Wedgwood attached such importance to this style of decoration that in 1769 he patented the encaustic process by which it was produced.

This event is a museum event and expects 101-500 people.
