Antique English Wedgwood style blue jasperware cheese dome and stand with grapevine decoration, 19th century
This gorgeous 19th-century English cheese dome and stand captures the timeless charm of Wedgwood-style blue jasperware. Crafted in matte blue stoneware with crisp applied white bas-relief, it features intricate grapevine and leaf motifs — a classic neoclassical design that recalls the finest Wedgwood traditions.
The dome is topped with an ornate finial shaped like a twisted rope and grape cluster, adding a playful sculptural touch. Small ventilation holes around the top help air circulate, preserving cheeses in style. The soft blue body contrasts beautifully with the detailed white decoration, giving the piece a refined, classical look typical of 19th-century English country house dining.
While the piece is impressed with a ‘W’ and the number ‘303’, no maker’s mark is present. However, the high-quality craftsmanship and the style closely align with the work of English potteries inspired by Josiah Wedgwood’s pioneering jasperware designs.
Whether you collect antique English pottery, love Wedgwood, or want an elegant yet rustic centrepiece for your kitchen or dining table, this decorative cheese dome would be a charming addition.
Weight: 2211 g
Height (including finial): 23 cm / 9.06″
Overall diameter: 23 cm / 9.06″
Inner plate recess diameter: 19 cm / 7.48″
The cheese dome is in very good antique condition, with crisp applied reliefs and a rich, even blue colour. Minor surface irregularities, small firing blemishes, and subtle darker marks are typical of biscuit stoneware and original to its 19th-century hand-crafted production. The stand shows gentle wear, and there are a few tiny glaze skips or firing blemishes. The interior plate has one small chip on the outer rim and two chips on the inner recess rim; these are hidden when the dome is assembled and do not detract from the piece’s charm. The piece remains strong, decorative, and displays beautifully.
