Josiah Wedgwood was one of the most famous pottery makers, he went to create and experiment avidly with different clay pieces,
throughout his lifetime he came to create 3 famous bodies, which are Queens Ware in 1762, Black Basalt in 1768 and finally Jasper in 1774.
These still remain famous to this day.
In 1762, Josiah Wedgwood then met a man named Thomas Bentley, a Liverpool merchant who had travelled widely on the Continent and possessed a sound knowledge of classical and Renaissance art.
Today, the Josiah Wedgwood and Thomas Bentley collection celebrates their partnership and encompasses the finest Wedgwood ornamental ware and luxury tableware, with each item made in England and meticulously decorated by hand by Master Craftsmen.

and try to find teapots where I could take similar images of:
This image jumped out at me because it was not taken from a likely angle, I like how it is positioned and I think that it is quite refreshing to see that it was taken from the top looking downwards rather than the sides.
