Pictorial Guide to Pottery and Porcelain Marks

by Chad Lage

Pictorial Guide to Pottery and Porcelain Marks Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book features photographs of marks alongside their actual pieces for perspective. Other books simply show line drawings, but this massive encyclopedia educates collectors and researchers on what the marks actually look like on a piece of pottery or porcelain. Over 7,500 photographs of around 4,000 marks and items, from Abingdon to Zsolnay, are featured in this huge publication. Organized alphabetically by company, this book is the most user-friendly marks book you'll find, telling readers quickly what it looks like, when it was made, and who made it. Appraisers and dealers will find this guide extremely useful; they can learn a little bit about many different marks, rather than having to weed through extensive historical information on the thousands of marks produced. As an added feature, cross-referencing indexes are provided, by date, shape, and company.

Teresa P., September 6, 2006 (view all comments by Teresa P.)
This book is highly recommended because it has large pictures of marks[/kw] and representative items from well-known as well as obscure factories. For each mark, there is a brief description and picture of a representative piece. This guide is different from the other guides that are mostly old and consequently any pictures of pieces are in poor-quality black and white (some guides do not show pieces at all.) The older guides are difficult to use because they require you to know the manufacturer already. This guide has an excellent index as well as factory names at the top of each page. It discusses American as well as European pottery and porcelain.
