Factors That Affect Wedgwood Jasperware Value
1. Rarity and Colour
The value of a Wedgwood piece often depends on how rare it is. Some colours and designs are far less common, making them more valuable:
- Crimson Dip (late 1800s–1920s) – extremely rare due to colour bleeding issues.
- Yellow, Lilac, and Tri-colour examples – less commonly produced, highly sought after.
- Blue, Sage Green, Black – more common, but still popular for display.
Auction Example: A full set of Flaxman-designed blue & white Jasperware chess pieces sold for £1,700 at our March 2022 Fine Art auction.
2. Size and Type
Larger, decorative pieces usually fetch higher prices, such as vases, urns, and plaques. Smaller collectables like medallions or matchboxes are popular, but often less valuable.
Auction Example: A Tri-colour Britannia Vase from our November 2021 Fine Art auction sold for £4,100, thanks to its large size and rarity.
3. Age
Wedgwood Jasperware has been produced since the 18th century. Generally, older pieces are more valuable, especially those from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, age alone is not the only factor – design, colour, and condition all play a role.
Auction Example: A 1968 large 1316 shape lidded vase achieved a hammer price of £1,900 in November 2023, showing that mid-20th-century pieces can also be highly desirable.
4. Condition
Condition is critical. Rare pieces with minor damage may still sell for a respectable price, while more common items or those with major damage will see their value reduced significantly.
Auction Example: A Tri-colour ‘Dancing Hours’ vase in uncommon sage green and white, circa 1840, sold for £680 despite minor wear.
