)Hi folks, There seems to be a lot of sellers that are currently listing their Blue Willow pieces as Wedgwood when in fact they were produced by Wedgwood & Co. These are two totally different English potteries.
The most famous and well known, Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) opened his pottery in Burslem England in 1759. He is most recognized for his Black Basalt and Jasper-ware pieces. As far as I know, they never produced anything resembling Blue Willow Ware.
Wedgwood & Co or Wedgwood & Co Ltd potteries was founded by Enoch Wedgwood of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent in 1860. He is a very distant relation of the aforementioned Josiah. The company became a "Limited Company" in 1900, was renamed "Enoch Wedgwood" and then finally renamed "Unicorn Potteries".
Lets make an effort to use diligence when listing our items. A new collector might think they are getting a "real" piece of Wedgwood when in fact it's produced by a different Co
