How can you tell how old a Wedgwood is?

How can you tell how old a Wedgwood is?
To tell how old a Wedgwood is, start by examining its markings. Because the marks the British maker added to its pieces changed over the years, the style and wording of what appears on your piece can help you date it. Refer to trusted online resources for images of Wedgwood's historic marks and then compare them to what's found on your item to narrow down the production date to a specific time frame. From there, you can explore Wedgwood catalogues and image galleries for the years within that period, looking for pieces that match yours to further narrow down the range of potential manufacturing dates. Alternatively, you can use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer, who can date your Wedgwood piece for you. Find a diverse assortment of Wedgwood pottery on 1stDibs.
