Here's a wonderful true story for you... George Stubbs is considered one of England's greatest painters. He taught himself how to paint, was one of Great Britain's sporting painters, and was most famous for his horse paintings. The only way to get around was by horse, and horse racing and horse breeding was the thing to do if you were rich. So the rich paid George to paint their horses. Stubbs started experimenting and expanded his gift in both enamels and printmaking. This is when George Stubbs and Josiah Wedgwood, the celebrated potter met. Josiah became one of George's greatest patrons and the two collaborated in the search for an appropriate ceramic base for enamel paint. 6.5 inches diameter
