(10,907 posts)genuine Jasperware, it seems as if there were would be a photo included of the mark or stamp indicating that.
That said, the 10-year-old girl in me wants one of those rings...

but that sideways shit? how stupid do you have to be to believe wedgwood would put out something like that?

There are some simple guidelines to help you determine the authenticity of your piece:
Markings: Wedgwood is marked. ...
Icons: Sometimes there is an urn with the markings. ...
Spelling of Wedgwood: If the marking is Wedgewood it is not authentic. ...
Accents: The white accents are raised against the background.
I'd guess these items are not.

(71,958 posts)so, i went to the school of the art institute. i was a clay major.
took a history of ceramics class. they had a different lecturer for each class.
one week it was a curator from the museum.
i got to embarrass that person TWICE.
1st was that they had no idea why ppl used 'paste china'. or rly, what it was. i gave her a little lesson in clay bodies and the economics of cone 6 v cone 10.
but the rly stupid thing was that she brought drawings from wedgwood.
one was a teapot. it had a line drawn to indicate the angle of the spout. she was so impressed at the aesthetics of that decision.
me- um, that's to make sure it pours properly.
sometimes i think the more time you spend in a classroom, the dumber you get.

but companies other than Wedgwood made Jasperware items. If you start reporting people selling cheap crap on ebay you'll be occupied 24 hours a day. LOL. I bet this guy's best customers are Trump supporters. Tacky, tacky, tacky. Edited to add: I looked at the photos more closely and the sterling silver doesn't look like sterling silver either. Probably a bogus 925 mark and nice story of their origin.
