Product Questions

I have a question about a Wedgwood product, what do I do?
If you have already checked the product page and still can’t find the answer, then please contact Customer Care

customerservice.uk@wedgwood.com 

Wedgwood gift boxes and packaging. 
Unfortunately, due to logistical constraints we cannot dispatch single replacement gift boxes.

What kind of bone is used in making Wedgwood tableware? 
Our china is manufactured with a type of soft-paste porcelain, which contains greater than 35% tricalcium orthophosphate. This makes our china extremely hard and durable and cannot absorb fluids or food. The processing of the china results in a beautiful translucent white appearance, which is considered among the strongest types of porcelain in the industry.

We have lots of friends that we work and collaborate with. Find a list of our latest collaborations below and simply click the link to shop!

Why do my plates have grey marks on them?
Some Wedgwood stoneware owners notice grey marks or 'scratches' on their dinnerware. Don't panic—this isn't a defect.These marks can occur when metal utensils are used and meet the hard glazes typically used by most stoneware manufacturers.

Stoneware glazes look and feel very smooth—however the surface is made up of microscopic 'peaks and valleys'. When metal utensils touch the surface of the stoneware, often being softer than the glaze, tiny metal particles get caught in the microscopic valleys, causing those grey marks.

Though some customers refer to these as scratches, there's not usually any actual damage to the glaze or the stoneware body. The good news is that metal deposits can be removed with a variety of cleansers such as Bar Keepers Friend. The combination of chemical action and a mild abrasive in the cleaner easily removes the metal particles from the glaze... Phew!

What are your recommended care instructions?
We recommend visiting our Care Guide for information regarding our products.

What's the difference between the way products look online and offline?
There's nothing quite like getting your hands on Wedgwood designs and seeing them with your own eyes, however we know that this isn't always possible. How the colors of products appear on our website has a lot to do with your monitor or phone screen resolution. To help you visualize our products, we strive to provide you with the best imagery.

Can you provide me with valuations for selling or insurance purposes?
Unfortunately, we're unable to give valuations for any purposes for our products. We recommend that you contact your local antiques dealer to discuss this.

How to identify Wedgwood stamps?
We get lots of people contacting us asking 'How much is Wedgwood worth?', 'How to value Wedgwood', 'How to date Wedgwood marks and numbers?' and 'How to identify my Wedgwood patterns?'... Due to our small team of Customer Care Advisors, we sadly don't always get the chance to search for products or patterns through back-catalogs. If you have any questions like this, we suggest you try the following site for more information before contacting us:
