Questions About Marked With F
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Wedgwood marks changed many times from the manufacturer's founding in 1759 until today. Very early pieces often say "Wedgwood and Bentley," while most pieces made from 1769 to 1929 say "Wedgwood" in block letters. In 1929, the brand began to use a serif script. On 1stDibs, find a selection of expertly vetted Wedgwood.

    The interlaced double “L” mark is the signature mark of Sèvres porcelain. There have been fakes on the market since the 19th century so be on the lookout for unsightly or sloppily-painted scenes and decorations. The colors should fit right with one another, and the guilding should be fine and lightly applied. Shop a collection of expertly-vetted Sèvres porcelain from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, all Sevres porcelain goods have a signature blue mark on the underside. The mark shows two L’s interlacing with one another, with another letter on the inside to indicate the year. You’ll find a selection of authentic Sevres porcelain on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Many different markings can appear on real gold. Makers sometimes stamp pieces with karats, using markings like 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K and 24K. Alternatively, they may use a three-digit number that corresponds to the percentage of pure gold in the piece. Examples of these markings include “375” for 9-karat gold, “585” for 14-karat gold, “750” for 18-karat gold, “916” for 22-karat gold and “999” for 24-karat gold. Shop a wide range of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, fake jewelry can have markings. Jewelry produced out of materials other than precious metals and real gemstones may still have a brand hallmark stamped somewhere on it, as many fashion jewelry makers add their logos to their pieces. Fake jewelry that is a replica of authentic fine jewelry may also bear a maker's mark to make the reproduction more convincing. However, these fraudulent hallmarks often aren't identical to the genuine markings, and noticing this difference can help you spot fakes being passed off as genuine pieces. Explore a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No. In fact, most Staffordshire figurines are not marked. Staffordshire figurines made from 1740 to the mid-1900s don’t generally have a maker’s mark, since they were produced by unknown, small manufacturers. Those manufactured by Kent between 1944 and 1962 feature a black printed mark that reads “Staffordshire Ware Kent Made in England.” Shop a collection of Staffordshire figurines from top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, not all McCoy vases are marked. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, McCoy pottery experimented with different markings and initials and also reissued older designs created without marks.

    How Murano glass is marked varies. Some pieces feature a label, sticker or other mark that bears the name of the studio that produced them.

    Yes, Monet jewelry is marked, but the hallmark employed by the brand has changed greatly over the years. During the 1920s and 30s, most pieces said "Monocraft."

    Yes, Murano glass is typically marked. You will usually find the markings on the bases of pieces or in other inconspicuous areas.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    How Italian silver is marked varies. However, the majority of pieces will have the word "Italy" stamped onto their surfaces, as well as the numbers 800 or 925. The 800 marking means that a piece is 80% silver and 20% alloy, while the 925 stamp indicates sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy. Some Italian silver may also feature a maker's mark. Find a collection of Italian silver objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    Yes, some real crystal is marked. Many manufacturers, such as Baccarat, Waterford, Swarovski and Lalique, place maker's marks on their crystal wares. However, a lack of marking doesn't necessarily mean that a piece isn't crystal. A certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can examine a piece to offer a more detailed assessment. On 1stDibs, find a range of crystal tableware, drinkware and decorative objects.
