Josiah Wedgwood and Sons started making nursery ware decorated with the characters of Beatrix Potter in 1947 after an arrangement was reached with Frederick Warne, the publishing company that held Potter's copyright. Since then nursery pieces featuring Peter Rabbit in particular have become increasingly popular not only in Britain but also in the important Japanese and Far East markets.
