Wedgwood porcelain cup or small teacup (marked Wedgwood, Made in England, pattern/shape number 79295)
Estimated Value
$15-$45
A small white Wedgwood porcelain cup or teacup seen from the underside. The base bears the Wedgwood mark with the classical urn logo, the words 'WEDGWOOD' and 'MADE IN ENGLAND,' and a handwritten or printed number '79295.' The visible handle edge shows a blue decorative motif, suggesting a transfer-printed or hand-decorated pattern on the exterior. The piece appears refined and lightweight, consistent with Wedgwood tableware or a tea service component. Without the full view, the exact pattern and form cannot be confirmed.

Historical Significance
Wedgwood is one of the most important English ceramics manufacturers, founded in the 18th century and widely collected. While this specific cup is likely a later production piece rather than a rare antique, it represents the long tradition of English fine tableware and Wedgwood's enduring export market.
