Jasperware was made in several colors, including cobalt blue, lavender and green, and Wedgwood blue became its signature. The Bute bowl, also called a mazer bowl, takes its form from the mazer, a medieval communal drinking and feasting bowl, and here it is given the classical decoration Wedgwood is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our shop for more Wedgwood and blue and white pieces to round out your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wedgwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41145747439825,"sku":"C587","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/products\/IMG_4362-scaled.jpg?v=1668441098","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/en-ca\/products\/bowl-bute-mazer-blue-jasperware-wedgwood-bisque-porcelain-vintage-1954","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
