    Hi guys,

    I'm new on here.

    My question is can anyone help identify this Wedgwood & Co Ld plate. It has a Unicorn Stamp, also Wedgwood & Co actually stamped into the ceramic. The word Ivory is also stamped into the ceramic. It has numbers 7140 stamped on the back. There are also 3 numbers stamped on the back I believe them to be 029. I have exhausted all my usual routes but still unable to get any further information. Wedgwood were unable to help as all documents belonging to Wedgwood & Co were destroyed in several fires back in the 60s. Any help or support would be appreciated. Thank you

    Do you happen to be the same Robert who inquired about THIS Wedgwood set?

    What I said in that other inquiry:
    Your Wedgwood & Co earthenware dishes are NOT by Josiah Wedgwood, the famous and well-respected potter. Yours are by Enoch Wedgwood's pottery, he was a distant cousin of Josiah....
    From thepotteries.org:
    "The ware of Wegwood & Co are sometimes confused with those of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd. However the inclusion of "& Co" or "& Co Ltd" in the name always differentiates between the two companies as Josiah Wedgwood never used "& Co". "
    "Messrs. Wedgwood & Co. became a limited company in 1900 and continued to use this old title until 1965, when the new style Enoch Wedgwood (Tunstall) Ltd. was adopted to avoid the confusion which often arose between the old title (and marks) and that of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd."
    "In 1965 the company Wedgwood & Co. was sold to Semart Importing Co. based in New Jersey, USA and refloated as Enoch Wedgwood (Tunstall) Ltd."

    Your unicorn mark is older that the mark in that other post.... yours is 1908+.

    Sorry if I'm telling you stuff that you already know. :shy:
    Were you, too, looking for a pattern name? Many patterns didn't have names.

    Enoch Wedgwood & Sons, IOW. He was a cousin of some sort to Josiah, but pieces from this company never commanded the prices of the other Wedgwood. The fancy Wedgwood, btw, now owns Enoch Wedgwood. Just to confuse things further.

    No I'm not that person.
    Thanks for that. As you say I already know most of that. It's the actual date and pattern information I'm trying to find out. I've found a similar pattern on etsy, who are trying to pass off as Wedgwood and clearly isn't. Thus is unusual due to having 2 Wedgwood & Co marks. I will keep looking. Thank you once again.
