Our new gallery is open in Carlton.

WEDGWOOD: The more popular of Skeaping’s figures were made well into the 1980’s. Monkey with Baby was one such, and this example (in Moonstone glaze) shows why Wedgwood continued with their production. Moonstone has a soft, matt finish, and is particularly attractive. It is one of the glazes developed by Norman Wilson. C1950. $850
