18th Century Old Wedgwood Jasperware Tray (1764 to 1769)

  

2 pounds 1.7 ounces. 10-3/8 inches by 7-3/4 inches. Among collectors, the term Old Wedgwood is taken to refer to wares produced before Josiah's death in 1795.

Old Wedgwood is difficult to date. The first examination is of the piece itself. Old Wedgwood has a character of its own.

It is finely crafted and just feels old. It is impossible to convey that quality in either words or photographs. The only way to gain an appreciation of the character of Old Wedgwood is to examine it, with the eye and with the finger tips.

The earliest factory marks were impressed using movable type which explains why they are uneven as is this mark. There are no repairs or chips.

The tiny white spots on the face are clearly manufacturing anomalies. Found in the John Hicks estate. Condition appropriate with age and as pictured. I will offer a certificate of authenticity upon request.
