Josiah Wedgwood
Josiah Wedgwood is an English potter, businessman and abolitionist. He founded Wedgwood. He developed improved ceramic bodies through a long systematic process and was at the forefront of the industrialization of ceramic production in Europe. Fans of innovative classics in the late 1760s and early 1770s were of great importance to its sales momentum. His expensive products were in great demand among the elite, while he used simulated effects to market cheaper sets for the rest of society. Every new invention made by Wedgwood - green enamel, cream, black basalt and jasperware - was quickly copied. Once an efficiency of production is achieved once, it is effective in selling and distributing. Its showrooms in London gave the public the opportunity to see the full range of its tableware.
