About The Wedgwood Society
of Southern California
Founded 1966
Non-Profit Incorporation 1985

The mission of The Wedgwood Society of Southern
California is to advance knowledge about Wedgwood, and
about the associated evolution, over 250 years, of
artistic taste, social trends, scientific discovery, and
business management.

For more than 40 years The WSSC has provided a supportive forum for both new and established collectors and students of Wedgwood.

Meetings and social events take place in most months of the year. Meetings feature talks by members and guest speakers, show & tell, refreshments, and plenty of time for informal socializing and sharing of expertise.

Annual events include a Presidents' Weekend excursion to Palm Springs, a silent auction, a summer social, and a holiday luncheon.

Members receive regular newsletters. Whenever possible, newsletters include transcripts of talks delivered at meetings.

Prospective members are invited to request a sample newsletter or to inquire about attending a meeting as a guest of the society.

WSSC members collect a wide variety of Wedgwood, ranging
from 18th Century production to Egyptiana, Art Deco,
Modern Wares, and everything in between. You’re sure to
find someone who shares your interests...and others who
will incite new passions.
