Welcome to a world of experiences

On the 13th June 1769, Josiah Wedgwood celebrated the opening of his new Etruria factory in Stoke-on-Trent by hand throwing six First Day Vases. Over 250 years later, two of these vases sit at the heart of the World of Wedgwood, on display in the galleries of the V&A Wedgwood Collection. In partnership, we celebrate the story and legacy of this great innovator. 

On relocating to Barlaston in 1938 Josiah V stated, ‘The Wedgwood tradition prescribes a duty to the future as well as the past’. It is this duty to the future that underpins our development today, through the preservation of environment, heritage and craft.
