As well as the famous
Josiah Wedgwood several other potters used the name WEDGWOOD (or
similar names) on their ware - either because their name was
Wedgwood, or because they copied the name and/or ware in order to
boost their own sales.
In 1848 Francis Wedgwood
(son of Josiah Wedgwood II) who was one of the owners of the Josiah
Wedgwood & Sons Etruria works took out an
injunction against William Smith & Co to prevent them using the
Wedgwood mark.
No true Wedgwood ware
used a middle 'E' as 'WEDGEWOOD' or used '& CO.' or an initial 'J'
