Wedgwood ware \Wedg"wood` ware`\ [From the name of the inventor,
   Josiah Wedgwood, of England.]
   A kind of fine pottery, the most remarkable being what is
   called {jasper}, either white, or colored throughout the
   body, and capable of being molded into the most delicate
   forms, so that fine and minute bas-reliefs like cameos were
   made of it, fit even for being set as jewels.
