Handbook of Marks on Pottery and Porcelain Robert Lockhart Hobson

The ardent collector of Pottery or Porcelain, even when he has long passed his novitiate, constantly feels the need of a reliable pocket volume containing the authentic and indisputable marks of the pottery and porcelain of the best collectors' periods. It has been our aim to supply such a volume in a condensed and practical form. The only marks given in this book are those which are beyond dispute. The arrangement is geographical, the different species of ware being separately treated wherever practicable; but, by elaborate indices, ready reference has been provided to each mark, as well as to each factory. In addition, a condensed account of the important productions of every country prefaces each section of the work.
