Among the little collection of blue and white Wedgwood pieces that I've been selling up on Ebay are some trinket boxes. One of them is this round one with a ribbed base and some classical relief scene on the lid. Most of the pieces are somewhat like this, with strings of leaves around the rims and scenes of women and men in togas or Greek robes carrying lamps, or playing instruments or groups of fat little cherubs dancing or chasing each other. I have about four trinket boxes in various shapes and they are all quite intriguing and delicate. I also have a bud vase and some plates and a little cup. Most of these are stamped or indented on the bottom with the Wedgewood label and say "Made in England." Apparently they are made of some kind of china called Jasperware which was created by the original Wedgwood company. There's also numbers and letters on them such as "B" or "W" or "64" o "63" which may be the years they were made. I haven't done much research on these marks but just write them into the description in the Ebay listing, in the hope that there is someone who wants to buy these and may be more expert than I, will be able to figure out more about them.
