Often referred to as the "Father of English Potters", Josiah Wedgwood was not only a master craftsman but also a brilliant businessman. He pioneered many modern sales tactics, including direct mail, illustrated catalogs, money-back guarantees, and celebrity/royal endorsements. He also heavily championed social causes, most notably producing medallions to support the abolition of the slave trade.
