Synopsis

Ceramic Marks of the World is an invaluable reference book for anyone interested in building up a collection of ceramic ware. It thoroughly classifies the ceramic marks of Europe and North America (whether painted, impressed or imprinted) enabling the origin of a wide range of ceramic ware to be traced accurately. More than 1700 marks are illustrated, and these are listed under a clear system of headings that allows any mark to be traced quickly; these are arranged by letters in alphabetical order and then in succession by words, numerals and various symbols including those of geometry, heraldry, flora and fauna, and mock-Oriental marks. With this help the collector can discover the region in which the piece was made, the maker of workshop that manufactured it, and the date of manufacture.
