2. The form of the Portland blue jasper Icarus teapot has its origins in the early 19th century and features a central bas-relief of Daedalus instructing his son Icarus how to fly. Daedalus made wings of feathers and wax but despite his warning, Icarus flew too close to the sun, the wax melted and plunged to his death in what its now known as the Aegean sea.

"波特蘭藍(Portland blue)"碧玉浮雕"伊卡洛斯茶壺"的形式起源於19世紀初，中央淺浮雕是一個的希臘羅馬故事，戴達羅斯(Daedalus)指導他的兒子伊卡洛斯(Icarus)如何飛行。戴達羅斯用羽毛和蠟製作了翅膀，但儘管有他的警告，伊卡洛斯還是飛得離太陽太近，蠟熔化並墜入現在被稱為愛琴海的地方而死。

Wedgwood「歷史小壺」系列作品的設計理念，是將其十八/十九世紀間生產的各種造型壺中，精心挑選出六款最具代表性的茶壺，加以縮小製成"歷史茶壺小型版"。
