I can pinpoint from the book if you want but Geralt says 16 years in 1268 which notes 1252, and it was approximated by other characters' remarks that Pavetta was about a month pregnant at the time of their story which (if it follows a 12 month calendar and pregnancy was to full term, that is 9 months) would put their meeting around Aug. of 1252. Also even just using Ciri's remarks, it can still be 1253: unless a person is born on the eve or very ending of a year, we are 2 ages in one year, meaning her statements put her around 1252 or 1253. Combined with the remark by Geralt of 16 years and Ciri being born in the early spring, it's safer to put it as 1253 as there's no conceivable way Geralt would remark it being 16 years if it was actually 17 for 1251.
