Wedgwood and Wine….a wonderful combination….
The next lecture of the WSB will be, “Wedgwood and Wine: From Cellar to Pantry to Table”, presented by Sandy Olubas, Wedgwood collector and historian, on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDST.
Don’t forget the time is now Daylight Savings Time.
Wedgwood made an amazing amount of ceramics for all types of purposes. This talk is focused on the pieces made for use with wine and related beverages. Production of these began in the 19th century and continues today. Most are made of creamware, with a few exceptions of earthenware, jasperware, and bone china. Depending on the time period and the need of the customer, the pieces vary greatly in shape, purpose, and decorative value. Sandy will explore the wonderful world of ‘Wedgwood and Wine’ from the beginning until the 21st century.
Sandy was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, graduated with a Bachelors in Information Technology from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and received an MBA from Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio. Sandy worked in the Information Technology at several Cincinnati companies, to include General Electric Aerospace. Collecting Wedgwood started during her first trip to England where she found a bone china dinner pattern. Sandy’s main attraction is to what she calls “utilitarian” pieces … those not used in the dining room nor for decorative purposes. She served as Treasurer for the WIS and has lectured on a number of Wedgwood related topics.
