Wedgwood Blue Jasperware
A Wedgwood blue Jasperware oval tray entitled 'Infant Academy' featuring a central white bas-relief depicting the painting entitled 'The Infant Academy' after Sir Joshua Reynolds which was modelled by William Hackwood in 1789.
The artwork shows a nude boy sitting before an easel, with oval canvas; another child sits for her portrait; on one side of her is a child placing feather on cap, and another wrapped in a gauze veil.
The tray measures approximately 7 1/4 inches by 5 3 /4 inches and is stamped 'Wedgwood Made In England' on the base.
The tray has been previously owned and is first quality in very good condition, however as per the photographs the tray does look mis-shaped.
