A rebuilt sculpture of world-famous potter Josiah Wedgwood, which was inadvertently demolished two years ago, has been unveiled by the sculptor’s widow.
The brick-built head, known as Capo, was installed at Etruria Hall in Stoke-on-Trent and officially revealed during a ceremony on Sunday.
It was reduced to rubble in 2023 during works to regenerate Etruria Valley, sparking the resignation of former deputy council leader Daniel Jellyman who gave the go-ahead for the demolition.
Chloe Chard, widow of sculptor Vincent Woropay who died in 2002, said he would have been been “so delighted, and touched, and relieved,” to see his work restored.
