For your consideration today, we have a very RARE Wedgwood vase. A true Museum piece! The vase is very large and heavy, which in itself makes this a rare piece. There are no imperfections at all! No chips, crack, scratches, or restorations of any kind This piece is as perfect a piece of pottery that I have ever seen from the 1700\'s.

According to Wolf Wankanitz, author of the 1966 book \"Wedgwood\", the first receipts found in the catalogs for redware items were from February 9th 1765. The mark I have tried to clearly show on the bottom, is referred to as the \"archaic\" mark and was the first mark to be used by Wedgwood. Much of the Wedgwood of this period was still unmarked. This mark was only used from 1759 to 1769. Thus, this piece can be dated 1765-1769. It appears on this piece, for some strange reason, a combination of small and capital letters are combined on the mark. An example of these oldest of markings has been added, from Wankanitz book.
If you would like to see a Japanese version of the same vase, look up the listing \"Antique Japanese Tokoname 2 handled red earthenware dragon vase\". The Wedgwood version I have listed is approx. 100 years older! Both are imitations of the Chinese wares of Yi-hsing first exported to Europe in the 17th century.
offer with confidence, and Good Luck! This beautiful vase would make a most outstanding \"centerpiece\" to any Wedgwood or redware collection!
