Wedgwood is a historical account written in the early 20th century that details the evolution of the pottery industry in North Staffordshire. The book explores the transformation of potting from a small, localized industry into a large-scale factory business, highlighting the significant figures and innovations that contributed to this growth. It likely delves into various aspects of the trade, including the materials used, the techniques developed, and the socio-economic implications of this industry on the local community. At the start of the book, Wedgwood introduces the unique connection between the North Staffordshire region and its pottery trade, noting how potting was once a household task before gaining specialization. He outlines the development of the potteries, tracing the origins back to humble beginnings around the 17th century, where individual families created their own pots. The narrative emphasizes the rich history surrounding the development of this trade, calling attention to key elements such as the availability of resources like clay and coal, the early potters' independence, and the significant historical records that capture the industry's progression. This introductory portion sets the stage for a detailed examination of the various changes that would follow, including the rise of capitalism and the introduction of steam power, impacting both the craft and the craftsmen.
