Ashtray, Wedgwood, Blue Jasperware, Pegasus Winged Horse, Neoclassical, 1959, Made in England

Some things arrive already knowing what they are. This Wedgwood Blue Jasperware ashtray, dated 1959 and made in England, is one of them — composed, classical, completely itself.
The white relief decoration features Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology — born of Poseidon and Medusa, tamed by Bellerophon. The border is adorned with grape clusters and trailing vines, a hallmark of Wedgwood's neoclassical tradition. The powdery blue remains the most coveted of all Jasperware colorways.
Collectors display these as trinket dishes, shelf accents, or grouped in small wall galleries .
