Someone responded to my inquiry about Hull, Roseville & Wedgwood and said that the "real" Wedgwoods didn't have the e after the g. Mine doesn't so does that mean it's real and if so how do I identify this piece and it's value?

Yes, it seems you have a genuinely old piece from the "other" Wedgwood from England - Wedgwood & Co. -

I think you'll find your mark on this page -
If you want to find out all about W ----d, go to the home page on that site, and type in Wedgwood - you'll get a history, marks, and references to the imitators who had the "E" - and yes, some of those items are "genuinely old". Lots of collectors want the Josiah Wedgwood pieces - but your's has a collectible value too. Run your google or MSN search as -- wedgwood and co -- you'll find sites with pieces like or similar to yours - one of my favorites is www.kaleden.com - go to pottery/porcelain and refine search as wedgwood - it will bring up pieces made by any of the British companies - I hope you find yours - post back if I can help your search - KB ;)

Thank you very much for your information. I am sure it will be very helpful and I will take advantage of your offer for more help if I hit a snag in identifying my piece. Thanks again!

I went to that link that you included in your response and I did find my mark. I haven't gotten any further though. I will be trying to find the value of this piece now that I have identified it. Thanks!
