I have several Hull and Roseville china pieces and 1 Wedgewood piece. I would like to know what the value of these pieces are. Please help!

:huh: WE WOULD LIKE TOO, CAN YOU TELL US THE NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR POTTERY.

The Hull, which is what I have the most of has no numbers. They all say Hull, ovenproof, USA on the bottom. The Rosevelles don't have any markings on the bottom. One has a crown stamped on the side and USA on the bottom. They were identified as Roseville by a collector but they couldn't tell me the value. I only have one Wedgewood and it has some kind of strange stamp on the bottom and under the stamp it says Royal Stone China, Wedgewood & Co.

By the way, I also have a Roseville that has no apparent markings anywhere on it. It's a plain white small pitcher that I was told was purchased several years ago for $85.00.?????? :blink:
-
the hull is recent. the roseville I doubt.

and may I add my 50 cents worth?
Usually, and this bears careful watching, the label "wedg(e)wood" , indicates copies from Asian imports.
and this is where I love this research - "real " Wedgwood does not have the "e" after the "g". BUT there is a company in Britain long ago that used the W --- WITH the "e".
CAUTION: Not necessarily with Royal Stone China in conjunction. My conclusion, and I agree with DB, is that your W---ewood, is a late 20th century import. :(

In response to the import suggestion, I have to differ. If you go to www.thepotteries.or g/mark/w/wedgwoodandco.html you will see that it truly is from the Wedgwood Company out of England. From the research I have done many pieces marke like this are from 1850-1902. There is alot of history of the various Wedgwood brances at that site. Hope that helps
