HISTORY/MARKS: Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) founded his company in 1759 at the Ivy House Works in Burslem, Staffordshire, England. He constructed the Etruria Works opening a modern factory in 1769. The company was continued by his sons and other relatives and descendants. Josiah Wedgwood & Sons, Ltd. became a public company in 1940. In 1967 it was listed on the London Stock Exchange with the chairman of the company, Josiah Wedgwood, being the great-great-great grandson of the founder. In 1989, the company was part of the Waterford Wedgwood Plc. By March 2009, KPS Capital Partners had placed Wedgwood into a group of companies known as WWRD (Waterford Wedgwood Royal Doulton). On 2 July 2015, the acquisition of WWRD by Fiskars Corporation, a Finnish maker of home products, was completed including the brands Waterford, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Royal Albert and Rogaška. The acquisition was approved by the US antitrust authorities. The set has the mark cited in Geoffrey A. Godden's Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks as mark #4094 (with England) used 1891-1900. It also has the mark of jewelry's Bailey, Banks & Biddle of Philadelphia.
