Godfrey Wedgwood (22 January 1833 – 9 October 1905) was a partner in the Wedgwood pottery firm from 1859 to 1891.[1]
Wedgwood was born in Etruria Hall, the son of Francis Wedgwood and his wife Frances Mosley. He was taken into partnership by his father in 1859, and was later joined by his younger brothers Clement and Laurence. He and his brothers were responsible for the reintroduction of bone china c. 1876 and the employment of the artists Thomas Allen and Emile Lessore.[citation needed]
In 1898, like his great-grandfather Josiah Wedgwood, he suffered the amputation of his right leg.[citation needed]
