It is very difficult in some cases to date Jasperware and the rules below should help you when considering the age on any item of Jasperware that you are considering purchasing.
Firstly, most modern/vintage pieces, those that date from 1908 to the present date are usually marked with Wedgwood, Made in England. But if you find that the marks are separated (Wedgwood Made in England) then the piece has probably made prior to 1970 and if the stamp is altogether then it is post 1970. However, there are some exceptions to this rule for example smaller pieces such as thimbles or miniatures, often these pieces will only carry the stamp Wedgwood England because of their size in comparison to the stamp being used.
Items of Wedgwood which are pre 1908 will be marked Wedgwood England and although it will be separated the stamp will not be uniformed in shape. There will also be letters accompanying the Wedgwood England which will help you to date items produced between 1891 and 1908.
Any items that were produced before 1891 will have a three letter dating code on them and this type of marking ran from about 1860 until 1891. The letters used would represent the month in which the piece was produced, the potter who produced it and the year of its production in this order. For example O stands for 1860, P for 1861 and so on. Although this was not a fool proof system for dating purposes, because sometimes they overlapped and in some cases certain letters may provide you with possible dates for its production.
