These cameos are early Wedgwood Jasperware and are fairly rare items. They are marked simply "WEDGWOOD 0", indicating manufacture c. 1790s - 1820s. They are approximately 2" x 1.5". The putti with sleeping dog features a safety chain and pin in addition to the regular pin. The design is attributed to Elizabeth, Lady Templeton. The mounting of the standing classical figure is a bit more elaborate, but lacks the safety chain. Plenty of more modern examples are out there, but these will be marked "Wedgwood England" or "Wedgwood Made in England" with more elaborate date codes. Hope you enjoy!
Appreciate the kind thoughts Caperkid, AdeleC, Efesgirl, Valentino, aura, and vetraio! - Cheers! Bob
Just learned something.
Simply beautiful!!! I did not know that Wedgwood went back that early!!! Very interesting, thank you!
@ Tassie - The dining room at Thomas Jefferson' s Monticello had Wedgwood around the fireplace. https://www.monticello.org/site/house-and-gardens/monticello-dining-room
