This handbook is the standard pocket reference for amateurs and professionals alike, an invaluable aid for anyone who needs an authoritative identification guide to British ceramics. Continuously in print for thirty years, it has now been thoroughly revised, updated and extended in the light of the latest research on the historic porcelain manufacturers and potters.
The main section lists the principal firms arranged alphabetically, shows the marks used by each firm, and gives its address, working period and the dates when the mark was used. In addition, the book records over 700 combinations of initials known to have been used as identifying signs by the potters listed, with their working periods.
A new listing of pattern and shape registrations, from 1842 to 1883, has been added, together with guidance on further reading and on the collectibility of the main types. Anyone interested in British ceramics will find this new edition even more invaluable than its predecessor - compact and handy, but packed with essential information.
