The scale and associated measurement technique were proposed by the England English pottery potter JosiahWedgwood in the 18th century. The measurement was based on the sintering shrinking of clay when heated above red heat , and the shrinking was evaluated by comparing heated and unheated clay cylinders. The scale started at convert 1077.5 F C being 0 Wedgwood and had 240 steps of convert 130 F C . Both the origin and the step were later found inaccurate.

To solve this problem, the English potter JosiahWedgwood proposed, in the 18th century, a method to measure temperatures in his kiln s. ref cite journal last1 Chaldecott first1 J.
