About this product

Product Information

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.

One of my best transactions. Great communication. Owner described DVD correctly and even has a description of it attached to the DVD. Price was perfect and DVD arrived in good condition. When I played it, it was in perfect shape. I will buy from buyer in the future and recommend him to others.

  • Full of inaccurcies. Should be discarded. NOT NAUDOT!

    Full of misinformation. Who is this guy? Absolutely ridiculous attribution to some made in Japan figurines (piano babies). He says they are made by Camille Naudot. Preposterous! Naudot was dead before those 1940-50's piano babies were made. These exact ones with the embossed NC mark, also are found with the original "Andra of Sadek" paper label, which also says made in Japan. They are not French, and NOT NAUDOT! Naudot had a printed mark usually found in blue. (Never embossed!)..tall skinny N,elongated C. Not the Japan import mark that is found on figurines and ceramics from Japan after world war II. These companies from Japan all have the embossed NC mark: Andrea, Arnart, Ucago, Lefton, and about several others. His misidentification is causing people to make false claims about their ...

  • Signed Studio Pottery & Porcelain Basics

    If you found this review helpful, please click on the link and give it your vote. Thank you. Chad Lage's "Pictorial Guide To Pottery & Porcelain Marks" is a large hardcover reference book. It is an alphabetical listing of pottery and porcelain makers' marks with color photos of the marks on actual pieces and additional full photos of actual examples. There are no overviews of makers and no essays on pottery or porcelain. Therefore, this book is not a complete reference. But it is a good starting point if you are trying to identify the maker of a piece that bears an unfamiliar name or initials. It is only really effective, however, if the maker's mark is includes the name or initials of the maker. If the mark is only a symbol, you will have a problem looking it up in this book. You can ...

  • Very helpful book!

    This book is a great quick reference to pottery marks. It shows several exapmles of marks by the same company and gives a date range to help you identify your pieces. The book is hardcover and in COLOR! It being in color helps out so much. It has a great little English Dating guide in the back that makes it so easy to identify English items on the fly. It would have been nice if the book had told a tad about the maker's histories or timelines. that would be helpful. But, that is not what this book is about.

    Easy to use guide to china marks

    Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-OwnedSold by: thrift.books

  • Pretty book, however...

    Pretty pictures of pottery and china pictures with marks. However, the book contains many significant dating errors, perhaps carried over from errors in the author's sources. There are also errors in identifying marks as to manufacturer. Examples of these errors can be found in the entries on Syracuse China, D.E. McNicol, T.E. McNicol, and Buffalo China. It should not and cannot be relied on as to dates and it's reliability is questionable as to identification of manufacurer.
