You are bidding on a rare, early WEDGWOOD blue & white jasper portrait medallion depicting King George IV of England (1762-1830), known for building the Brighton Pavillion as a royal residence.

Dimensions: 4" x 3" oval.. MARKS: WEDGWOOD and (in script) Duke of Marlborough. I cannot find a reference as to why it so inscribed; but, it is definitely Geoge IV.
