\Wedg"wood` ware`\ [From the name of the inventor,
Josiah Wedgwood, of England.]
A kind of fine pottery, the most remarkable being what is
called {jasper}, either white, or colored throughout the
body, and capable of being molded into the most delicate
forms, so that fine and minute bas-reliefs like cameos were
made of it, fit even for being set as jewels.
