I've been looking since some time ago for understanding Wedgwood Marks. Antiques are my passion and I have a nice, on growing collection.
What's up with these Wedgwood marks or Wedgewood marks, anyway? I've heard of them, but I don;t know any details.
Wedgwood was and is one of the few manufacturers to mark its name on their products. Usually embossed or painted on the bottom of each piece. The genuine Wedgwood mark is either painted or embossed "Wedgwood England", "Wedgwood Made in England", or "Wedgwood of Etruria & Barlaston" and/or an urn with Wedgwood underneath it.
Another company, Enoch Wedgwood of Tunstall whose pieces have a unicorn as its logo and are stamped "Wedgwood & Co." This is not genuine Wedgwood and has little or no value to collectors. The majority of the pieces are produced as collectibles for Avon, but have no collector value.
