New hat alert. Inspired by Wedgewood pottery, Hattingdon is featured here wearing a cracking sky blue saucer hat.
We named the hat design “Josie” in honour of world reknown potter, Josiah Wedgwood. What a fascinating man.
But, first a look at this lovely hat.
About Josiah Wedgwood
“The British potter Josiah Wedgwood (12 July 1730 – 3 January 1795) was not only a ceramic artist, but also on the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. Wedgwood brought science into the manufacturing process.”
“He also introduced work standards, time sheets, and many other methods that are common in the modern-day workplace.”
“He virtually invented modern mass-produced pottery by industrializing the industry. He used specialized division of labour to produce high quality at low cost, and sold his wares in every European city as well as to the wider world.”
Wedgwood’s vast array of talents and accomplishments did not stop there. What a phenomenon. Read more about this fascinating innovator »
P.S. We picked the blue today to show you. It is such a lovely, traditional colour in the Wedgewood collection.
By the way, The letter “e” is used correctly in the spelling of Wedgewood pottery. Wedgwood refers to the man who created it. Love, Hattingdon.
