Elizabeth Upton, Baroness Templetown

Elizabeth Upton, Baroness Templetown (née Boughton; 1746/47 – c. 30 September 1823)[1][2] was an English artist whose designs were used by Josiah Wedgwood the potter.

She specialised in detailed cut-paper work which adapted well to Wedgwood's jasperware with white bas relief scenes on coloured backgrounds.

Wedgwood first chose one of her designs in 1783, and his 1787 catalogue referred to her as having "exquisite taste" and "charming groups".

Their family home was Castle Upton in Templepatrick, County Antrim, Ireland.

Lady Templetown stayed in Rome a lot towards the end of her life, dying in 1823.
