Pictorial Guide of
Pottery & Porcelain Marks
Author: Chad Lage
Copyright 2004, No ISBN # is shown on flap
I find this book very helpful because it has both color photos of
the piece and its Hallmark. Most photos are accompanied by the use date
of the marks because as you know, pottery houses sometimes changed their
marks. Those of you who collect Hall pottery can attest to this. Most of
the marks are English and European. |

Encyclopaedia of
British Pottery and
Porcelain Marks
Author: Geoffrey A. Godden, F.R.S.A.
Copyright 1964, ISBN # 0-257-65782-7
Mr. Godden is an authority on English pieces having written many
books and guides. If you are interested in collecting English pieces
this book will be helpful in your quest. While this book is wonderfully
complete it is a bit difficult to plow through because of his
cataloguing style. All pix are either black and white hand drawings or
photos. No color folios. Helpful dating information. |

This is one of many books this duo authored. Black and white photos.
Extensive cataloging of marks plus intricate information about dating

too much time in this book but I can see it will be helpful when I get
the time to sit with a cup of tea. |
