European porcelain was born in the German city of Meissen, in 1708. This is the most comprehensive source book available to show the marks used by manufacturers, factories, and decorators from the beginning to the present. Included are more than 3,300 marks, many previously unpublished. More than 1,300 porcelain products, producers, and decorators are identified, including marks which American importers had applied. A special chapter shows more than 650 marks of Continental and American origin which can be confused with other famous marks. Here are aids in identifying imitations, fakes, and look-alikes, and revisions of marks which have been incorrectly identified until now. In all cases, the time period in which the mark was given will enable dealers and auctioneers to determine the age of porcelain items.

This review is from: Marks on German, Bohemian and Austrian Porcelain, 1710 to the Present (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
Great book for German/Austrian marks. I make a living selling European porcelain and glass and have found it immensely helpful in identifying marks. Once I got used to the layout it was easy to find the mark I am looking for. There is only one mark I have been unable to find out of about 10...pretty good considering. I highly recommend it if you are needing to add to your library for identification. This book may be more advanced than some may like...it is also in German and English.

PERHAPS IF THERE WERE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE BOOK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL, HOWEVER I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING I'M LOOKING FOR.
