Handmade: By Royal Appointment Wedgwood BBC Documentary

The Making of the Wedgewood Vase

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnfQabxrEWU

The film which follows the making of a Wedgwood vase. The culmination of over 250 years of expertise and heritage, the panther vase is handcrafted by artisan potters using the same techniques pioneered by Josiah Wedgwood in the 18th century. But the Wedgwood factory in Stoke is now a very different place.

Under new, foreign ownership, it’s a gleaming, modern operation, and as we follow the vase slowly taking shape, the film also takes a gentle look at how this quintessentially British company is reinventing itself for the 21st century.
