The Wedgwood Society of Washington, D.C., Inc. (WSWDC), founded in 2000 and incorporated in 2005, was

Considering that some of
the first ties Josiah
Wedgwood had to America -
nearly 250 years ago - were
right here in the
mid-Atlantic region, it is
only fitting that such a
group, relishing the
creation of his work, be
established in the nation’s
Capital. Thus, a serious
organization was born to
help teach and learn and
enjoy the world of Wedgwood.
Our Members
Wedgwood collectors, historians, dealers,
authors, students, and admirers comprise the Society’s
membership roster of more than 250 strong. And they join us from
the local region, throughout the USA, and abroad - across a
total of three continents! Levels of their Wedgwood knowledge or
activity range from novice to seasoned professional. Collectors
may have a handful of pieces to thousands, spanning up to four
centuries of production and covering one or more of the dozens
of product categories the Wedgwood firm has produced from the
mid-18th century to the present time.
Our Logo
The WSWDC logo is taken

founder, Adele I. Barnett.
The WSWDC is a nonprofit organization formed to provide
information and hold events relating to
the history, art, science, and celebration of Wedgwood. It
does not sell, distribute Wedgwood wares, or provide appraisals.
