Candlestick
The Four Seasons were popular subjects in art from the Roman to the 18th century. Wedgwood produced a range of pieces depicting them as subjects, including medallions, plaques, and these candlesticks attributed to William Hackwood (ca. 1757-1839), who was modeller for Wedgwood from 1769-1832. Made from Wedgwood’s jasperware clay, a high-fired stoneware, invented by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s.
