viii Wedgwood appointed Queen s Potter 83 



as much as 3000. But it consisted of 952 pieces, 

 and had involved an immense amount of labour. When 

 exhibited at the rooms in Greek Street, it was one of 

 the most popular sights in London. The money that 

 Wedgwood received for the service scarcely paid its 

 expenses ; but it acted as a splendid advertisement 

 throughout Britain, and indeed throughout Europe, 

 and its appearance largely increased the demand for 

 Wedgwood's manufactures.
