1 comments about Pottery and Porcelain Marks: European, Oriental and U.S.A. in Chronological Order.

1. Contains marks based on their period, somewhat hard to follow unless you know a lot about when your piece was made. I found Marks4Antiques easier to use. However, the Index is well organized, which helps find most marks by description.

3 comments about Marks on German, Bohemian and Austrian Porcelain: 1710 To the Present.

1. I bought this after buying several neat pieces of porcelain on Ebay and becoming curious about the history of the maker's marks on them. I was surprised that the book is in two languages, English and German (each page has both English and German text). It took me a little fumbling to get onto the organization, but once I did, it was wonderful in identifying everything I looked up. There are no pictures, just accurate line drawings of the maker's marks. Each is clearly identified by manufacturer and date. It allows you to look up marks by type, for instance "crown" or "anchor" or "anchor with words". One part of the book further gives a very brief summary of the type of wares each company produced (organized by country). It has more marks than any other reference book I have ever looked at, it is probably the only one you need for European porcelain. It also lists present day marks from currently producing companies.



2. Finally a book that goes further then showing some pictures...there ain't ! So all the place left is pure 100% usefull and revealing information. Not only useful for antique but also for younger, almost actual, porcelain. Indispensible for identification of the manufacturer and the age of a piece of German, Bohemian or Austrian porcelain. The information is seperately ordered by marks, by manufacturers or by names ! I don't know how I should go on without it...

1. This book clearly shows the author's enthusiasm and knowledge of chintz ceramics. Beautifully illustrated and packed with information for both the novice and experienced collector of chintz china. Highly recommended!



2. For any serious collector of Chintz this book is a must. It is clearlly set out and easy to understand. The passion and love the writer has for Chintz is apparent.



3. Excellent presentation on chintz pottery and ceramics without making it look like a manual. The type of book you'd want in your collection as a show piece.



4. This book is absolutely gorgeous. Of course, it is full of very useful information for chintz collectors. It is very educational for any one interested in learning more about chintz ceramics. However, the best thing about this book is its beauty. I just love to look at it time and time again.



5. If you are at all interested in Chintz dishes, this is the book to own. I personally want to sell a few pieces and would like to have the author's address. She has a wonderful collection as shown in this colorful book.
