Everything has its day and its time, and Wedgwood China is not an exception to the rule.  As the company is 250 years old there are patterns that were used to make dishware that simply no longer exist, but pieces of the dishware still do.  People take such good care of their Wedgwood China and such good care went into their make that lots of the first pieces made in the very earliest days of the company are still in existence.  The situation is this – when folk die, they pass their Wedgwood China collections down to their successors.  During the course of history, pieces break or go missing.  So, the value of a total set dating back ages is almost not possible to envision.  **] around the planet there are organizations who attempt to match collections of Wedgwood to make complete sets.  For later designs, it is straightforward to get fill-in pieces to restore your set to its original grandeur. 

Wedgwood itself guarantees it will do its best to keep a stockpile of all of its patterns on hand, to replace damaged or lost pieces for shoppers who request them.  But even these aren’t limitless and there are many of the countless designs that have run out and have become dropped Wedgwood China.  Once Wedgwood has officially discontinued a selected pattern, the prices for any and all existing pieces skyrocket. 

There are countless places of business all around the globe that specialize in handling only abandoned Wedgwood China pieces for that serious collector or highly cherished family heirloom collections missing one plate or teacup to make it complete.  As you can imagine, a full set of a discontinued Wedgwood China pattern can be quite valuable.  Take a look at the auction costs on older pieces and you’ll get an idea of what great, great Grandma’s's China may be worth on today’s market.
