Encyclopedia Of British Pottery And Porcelain Marks
Geoffrey A Godden
Review From Amazon
The primary reference book used by dealers and collectors to identify their antique and vintage English china, pottery and porcelain. It’s a fabulous book, whether you’re trying to identify anchors or crowns, As or Bs, or want to check what your date mark means – this is the book for you. Illustrated with thousands of marks from English manufacturers. Very easy to use. Highly recommended. Often referred to as the ‘bible’ by collectors and dealers in England.

Amazon Review :
I am an avid pottery and porcelain collector and have found this book very informative and easy to understand.I use it regularly to validate potters marks and symbols when I visit antiques fairs.It is not a chunky book so it is portable, and the marks are simply catalogued so that you can look them up quickly. An excellent reference book.
