Did You Know….

.…that Josiah Wedgwood I invented the pyrometer (thermometer), and that Charles Darwin was his grandson?

…..that the Wedgwood factory was commissioned in 1917, by a private USA fund raiser, to produce bone china and Queen’s Ware, called Liberty Ware, to aid in the War Relief Fund? This tableware was colorfully decorated with the shield of the United States of America and the flags of the Allies in World War I.
