Group of Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Collection

This lot comprises a collection of Wedgwood blue Jasperware pieces, predominantly featuring classical or commemorative designs in white bas-relief against a matte blue stoneware body. The collection includes at least two decorative plates, one of which is explicitly identified as an Australian Bicentennial plate and appears to be in its original presentation box, indicating careful preservation. Another plate features a depiction of what appears to be a castle or a prominent landmark, possibly the 'Disneyland plate' mentioned in the context. Also visible are smaller Jasperware items such as a small bowl or dish, a miniature vase or jug with a classic Wedgwood shape, and a cup and saucer set. The characteristic 'Wedgwood blue' color is consistent across all pieces, and the white bas-relief ornamentation provides a stark, elegant contrast. The craftsmanship is typical of Wedgwood, known for its fine detail and consistent quality in Jasperware production since the 18th century. Given the Bicentennial plate, the collection spans pieces from at least the late 20th century. The original boxes for some items suggest good condition, though specific wear or damage to the individual ceramic pieces is not discernible from the image. The items are displayed on what appears to be a light brown or beige surface, possibly a display table, with some items including the plates supported by black display stands. The overall condition appears well-preserved given the presence of original packaging for at least one key item.

I have examined the provided image of the Group of Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Collection, along with the owner's note about a 'Myott old willow dinner set for six' which I understand is a separate item and not part of this Jasperware appraisal. Based on the visual evidence, the collection consists of several Wedgwood blue Jasperware pieces, including at least two plates (one Australian Bicentennial in its original box, another possibly a 'Disneyland plate' depicting a landmark), a small bowl/dish, a miniature vase/jug, and a cup and saucer set. The consistent 'Wedgwood blue' color and white bas-relief ornamentation appear authentic to Wedgwood's Jasperware production, known for its fine detail. The presence of the original presentation box for the Australian Bicentennial plate suggests careful preservation and, combined with the overall clean appearance of the items on display stands, indicates good to very good condition. Market conditions for Wedgwood Jasperware are generally stable but not experiencing significant appreciation for common pieces. While Wedgwood has a strong brand history, everyday Jasperware items fall into the decorative ceramics category, which sees moderate demand. The Bicentennial plate has some commemorative value, but standalone Jasperware pieces like cups, saucers, and small bowls are relatively common. Factors impacting value positively are the apparent good condition and the original packaging for at least one item, which can add a slight premium. However, these are not exceedingly rare or early pieces. The 'Disneyland plate', if truly a limited edition or specific commemorative piece, could hold slightly more interest for collectors of Disneyana or specific landmarks, but its exact nature is unclear. Limitations in authenticity verification are inherent in image-only appraisal; I cannot physically inspect for chips, cracks, repairs, or manufacturer's marks (though typical Jasperware marks are usually on the base). Full authentication would require in-person examination to verify these details, scrutinize the quality of the applied reliefs, and confirm the specific markings on each piece. Without documentation of provenance for the entire collection, I assess authenticity based on visual consistency with known Wedgwood Jasperware. Considering these factors, I estimate the appraisal value for this collection to be in the range of $150-250.
