Topic: Acid mark identification. ID = Wedgwood (modern)

[Tigerchips]

Couldn't tell you if it was used on glass but there is a similar mark here... http://antique-marks.com/wedgwood-marks.html

very interesting - thanks for posting that link.                   I get the impression that marks included in this link were those used on ceramics only, but there's no getting away from the fact that the post 1998 mark shown appears identical to the o.ps. image, which looks to be on a piece of glass.            It seems remarkable that no one here recognized this backstamp as being from Wedgwood - especially as Rosie pointed out that part of the mark included the Portland Vase.
My opinion would be that the o.ps. image does agree with the backstamp in the link, from Wedgwood, and it's either scarce - added to ceramics usually and not often perhaps glass - perhaps confined to certain types of object.

I'm aware that Wedgwood sometimes put extra marks on pieces that I have assumed were commissioned.
I bought a Wedgwood dragon plate, a Daisy Macaig-Jones gilded beast on a Bleu Souffle background. On the back was the usual mark, but also the name and address of Powell Glassworks in London. It was "hand written" in black enamel. Sorry, no pics and the plate was a present, I don't have it.

Thanks for that link Tigerchips, it seems it has clinched the identification. Brilliant sleuthing!

I would really like to see a picture of the piece so that we can all learn form this very interesting and baffling post.

Paul, the Portland Vase hunch was only a bit of luck because I happen to have a piece of Wedgwood glass with the stamp on the base, and it just ticked a memory.

I think we'd all like to see what this piece looked like Rosie  -  did try nudging the o.p. some days back but seems Emma has turned her machine off

Well, I am hooked now,  so am still looking! 
This link shows the W mark with the Portland vase in the title. So maybe it is a Vera Wang glass??

It would seem it is very modern glass! 

Here is a link to a couple of glasses with this elusive mark!

As I always say,  I never give up!  But this has been quicker than some.

In which case, it's a brand mark rather than a manufacturer's mark, as I believe Wedgwood glass is now outsourced

[rosieposie]

It is indeed Christine.

I find this very sad that such an iconic part of British glass manufacturing is now outsourced.
The only consolation being, that at least they have kept the Wedgwood name, with a nod to the important historical past in the form of the (albeit very small)l Portland Vase in the logo.

It seems the Daylight range includes a clock and a picture frame as well as the glasses. 
The logo can just about be discerned on the base of the back stand of the picture frame in this advert.

It would be good to know which item Emmaf15 saw this logo on.

This could possibly be the piece we were hoping to see??
