How do I know if my Staffordshire pottery is real?
1 Answer
To know if your Staffordshire pottery is real, you have two main methods. One option is to familiarize yourself with the defining characteristics of the pieces produced by the maker of your pottery. Rather than being a single factory or workshop, Staffordshire pottery is the term for pieces made by all makers in the Staffordshire region of England. Many companies, including Wedgwood and Minton, have produced Staffordshire pottery, and the methods for authenticating pieces vary by maker. You can use the markings on your pottery to identify the maker and then consult trusted online resources for advice about authentication. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. Shop a wide variety of Staffordshire pottery on 1stDibs.
