WEDGWOOD Wedgwood WILD STRAWBERRY Wild Strawberry Tea Cup and Saucer Set, 2 Pieces Black Basalt Stamp Note: The reason the black basalt mark is considered special is because the products from that era were mostly manufactured in England, and they possess a unique atmosphere and weightiness that differs from current overseas-made products. In particular, products with the black basalt mark used from around 1962 to 1998 are highly valued as antiques and are popular among collectors. Furthermore, the design of this basalt is modeled after the ancient Roman glass vase, the "Portland Vase," which Josiah Wedgwood, the founder of Wedgwood, aimed to reproduce. This vase has been used as a symbol of the Wedgwood brand, appearing on logos and packaging. The black basalt mark has the following characteristics: The silhouette of the basalt is placed in the center. The word "WEDGWOOD" is located below or around the basalt. Depending on the era, notations such as "ENGLAND" or "MADE IN ENGLAND" are added. In this way, the black basalt mark is not merely a decoration but an important clue that represents the origin and value of the product. Shipped in the original box at the time of purchase.
