Intricate decorative techniques make Florentine Turquoise one of the richest formal patterns in the Wedgwood tableware collection.
Look closely at the ornate border and you will see all manner of fantastic plant and animal forms. Among these is the fabulous griffin, originating in the Middle East where it was believed to guard the gold of the north. Such "grotesques" were popular motifs in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and were rediscovered during the Gothic revival in the latter part of the 19th century - when Florentine was first designed.
In its modern, magnificent, turquoise-ground incarnation, Florentine creates a glorious setting for the grandest occasion.
