correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trust
worthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly
catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as cata

and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any
material manner differs from its catalogue description.

standing. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the
title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and

of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the

INTRODUCTORY NOTE
It does not seem probable that for many years to come
any such opportunity will be afforded to lovers of old Wedg
wood as by the present disposal of the Hargreaves Collec
tion of Wedgwood Medallions and Cameos.
As far back as forty years ago Miss Meteyard, who of
all writers on Wedgwood and his work is the most suggestive
as well as the most voluminous, commented on the variety
of these medallions, and after advising that "when met with
they should always be secured by the collector," had only
this cold comfort to offer, that "by the use of time and
patience he may pick up a specimen here and there till his
purpose is accomplished."
So implicitly must Mr. Hargreaves have followed this
advice when he began collecting in the early eighties that
at the time of his death in 1907 his collection of medallion
portraits and cameos was generally recognized as one of the
most considerable in England.
It is this collection which, after ineffectual attempts at
its acquirement on the part of at least two English mu
seums some five years ago, found its way across the Atlantic
and is now, in its entirety, offered to American collectors.
In regard to the Portrait Medallions in basaltes I cannot
do better than again quote Miss Meteyard, who says that
"these portraits, which are chiefly copies from antique gems,
are all extremely fine, expressing great individuality of char
acter and life-like animation."
As to the Cameos, it may be said that even Mr. Hargreaves'
unswerving patience and discriminating sense would nowa
days hardly avail to secure for him any such extensive gath-

ering. Especially interesting is it to note how many examples
it includes of the rarest of all examples of Wedgwood's
cameos — those, namely, which are in the nature of trial pieces
in pottery and semi-porcelain, made before he had discovered
his celebrated jasper medium.
But that the decorative character of the later Cameos
also strongly appealed to Mr. Hargreaves is evident from
the pains he took in their effective arrangement and disposal.
Finally, though it is not becoming that I should expatiate
at any length on the little collection of Wedgwood and kin
dred wares which here finds itself in combination with Mr.
Hargreaves' medallions, yet one word may fitly be said
in its regard.
It is the result of an endeavor to bring together a series
of examples which should represent not only the various
periods of Wedgwood's activities from the time of his first
settlement at Etruria to the year of his death, but also the
imitative work of his contemporaries.
It is now generally conceded that the best productions of
William Adams, of the Turners, father and sons, of Henry
Palmer and of Neale leave little to be desired even when
compared with the masterpieces of Josiah Wedgwood him
self.
Horace Townsend.

CATALOGUE

Note: Mr. Frederick Rathbone, of London, the acknowledged authority
on old Wedgwood, wrote to Mr. Hargreaves' daughter on November
4, 1907, regarding this collection of Medallions and Cameos:
"I have seen them and can certify that all are genuine and old."

Old Wedgwood Portrait Medallions in Black Basaltes,

"In every respect these portrait medallions are well deserving of
careful study. The portraiture comes out in a striking manner in
the basaltes where there is nothing of contrast in color to lessen the
simple and severe grace of these exact copies of antique art. The
finish of these gems is high and exquisite, as are also their hardness
and polish." — Miss Meteyard, "The Wedgwood Handbook," page 166.

Examples of the Work of Josiah Wedgwood and his
Leading Contemporaries in Black Basaltes Ware
"Wedgwood, like the rest of the Staffordshire potters, made very
general use of the black body. He improved it in composition and
by firing, till it became a fine and hard porcelain capable of receiving
a high polish. The basaltes body was applied to innumerable purposes.
The teapots, kettles, et cetera, are often gems of high finish and perfect
taste and as such are most desirable.
"Many of Wedgwood's competitors and rivals excelled in black ware."

Old Wedgwood Cameos in Blue and White Jasper,
including Many Early Trial Pieces in Other Me
diums From the Hargreaves Collection
"I can grasp Wedgwood's immense industry, fecundity and talent
more easily from this vast output of miniatures than from the more
imposing productions which can be viewed without a magnifying lens.
They are the most wonderful part of a wonderful whole." — Captaix
M. H. Grast, "Linesman.''
"Wedgwood's cameos were used for every conceivable kind of luxury
and ornament. But the finest were prepared for setting in jewellery,
and collection in cabinets as exquisite facsimiles of antique gems." —
Miss Meteyard, "Wedgwood Handbook," page 76.
Note:- The major part of Wedgwood's cameos were undoubtedly from
molds furnished by that unregarded genius, James Tassie, and it has been
thought advisable to identify some of the more important by the
numbers assigned to them in Raspe's monumental Catalogue of "Tassie's

Old Wedgwood Medallions and Plaques in Blue and
White Jasper
Mainly from the Hargreaves Collection
"The jasper tablets want nothing but age and scarcity to make
them worth any price you would ask for them." — Wedgwood's letter to
Bentley, dated December 15, 1777.
"Wedgwood only attained to perfection in his bas-relief tablets and
medallions through long and wearisome experiment and practice. To
dry such large masses of clay was difficult ; and their firing twice a
week, each time, was always hazardous.
"The original prices, even wholesale, were very high." — Miss Meteyard,

Examples of the Work of Josiah Wedgwood and his
Leading Contemporaries in Crystalline Agate,
Marble and Pebble Ware
"The crystalline terra-cotta vases continued to be made throughout
all the finest period of Wedgwood's work — particularly the imitations
of pebble, Egyptian pebble, green jasper, green marble, and one
or more kinds of porphyry. The crystalline bodies were also largely
used for many other useful and ornamental objects.
"It is now somewhat rare to find the crystalline vases in pairs; more
so in sets of three. But if the collector has the chance of obtaining
pairs or sets he should never lose it." — Miss Meteyard, "Wedgwood
Handbook," page 244.

ventured on the production of pieces of this size.

hear of useful forms in ornamental jasper. When such were purely
de luxe, and for cabinets, the body throughout was jasper, and this
was decorated with the most exquisite reliefs.

Vases by Josiah Wedgwood and his Leading Contem
poraries, in Blue and White Jasper
"Jasper vases were first exhibited to the public in the early part
of 1782 (this was after the death of Bentley). The forms, generally
derived more or less directly from the antique, were for the most
part satisfactory in outline and proportion. Many of the subjects in
white relief, with which these vases were decorated, had been previously
employed for tablets, but others were especially modeled for the
purpose." — Professor Church, "Josiah Wedgwood," page 47.
"The jasper ware of Turner and the two Adams is . . . often ex
tremely fine." — Miss Meteyard, "Wedgwood Handbook," page 292.

Black basaltes. The "Infant Hercules Strangling the
Serpent." On oval base. Modeled from the painting
by Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Height, 21 inches.
(Illustrated — see Frontispiece)
Note: Wedgwood, between the years 1770 and 1780, published
(as the term then was) several very large figures executed in
basaltes. Of these the rarest undoubtedly is the "Infant Hercules
Strangling the Serpent," which was modeled after the picture
painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds for the Empress of Russia. Miss
Meteyard says that the only copy of which she knew (she was
writing in 1875) "is the copy in the Apsley Pellatt Colection."
But she continues: "In that the arm thrusting back the serpent
has evidently been distorted in the fire." This example therefore
is probably the only perfect one now in existence. It seems pos
sible that this scarcity of so fine an example is due to the fact
that it was executed on a private order from the Empress of
Russia.
