THE WEDGWOOD INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR NEEDS YOUR HELP
Our third Annual Appeal is upon us! And I want to start by saying how grateful we are. Thanks to your generosity over the past two years, we’ve raised more than $10,000—funds that keep our Seminars strong, support the website and our ongoing Zoom lecture series, and help us continue publishing the annual Proceedings of the Wedgwood International Seminar. Your support truly keeps the WIS thriving.

We are delighted to invite you to the ECC’s next Zoom event. This lecture discusses research into a recently acquired Wedgwood Portland Vase Trial using a variety of analytic techniques. The lecture will also introduce evidence for an early copy of Wedgwood’s “Barberini” Vase that was acquired by the American Charles Drayton for Drayton Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1802.
