This is a piece of vintage Wedgwood Pale Blue Jasperware featuring a classical Greco-Roman relief scene. The specific matte white bas-relief motif depicted in the center is "Aesculapius Healing a Youth" (also known as the sacrifice or offering to Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine and healing). The scene shows a seated youth being attended to by the bearded deity next to a flaming altar pillar.
