You may be the owner of a valuable piece of porcelain or pottery, but the cryptic symbol on the underside of the piece may be your only clue to its value. Kovels' New Dictionary of Marks: 1850 to the Present will help you identify your pieces.
Kovels' New Dictionary of Marks provides the quickest and easiest way for professional and amateur collectors to identify more than 3,500 American, European, and Oriental marks. The perfect companion to the Kovels' original best-seller, Kovels' Dictionary of Marks -- Pottery and Porcelain: 1650 to 1850 (still in print after more than 42 years and 41 printings), Kovels' New Dictionary of Marks is the most comprehensive reference for nineteenth- and twentieth-century marks. Together, the two volumes are an indispensable guide to porcelain and pottery marks of the last four centuries.
Also available from Three Rivers Press, Kovels' Dictionary of Marks--Pottery & Porcelain: 1650 to 1850

Overall it is helpful. I am really just getting into this, so it is great to have something I can refer to to get an idea of where the item I have comes from.

This is an excellent guide to Pottery and porcelain. Pictures and descriptions are very helpful in correctly identifying pieces.

This book is full of marks. I used it for pottery and crocks and no longer need the copy I have. I will sell it now.

I have been in the antiques business for 35 years. I have NEVER found an unusual mark in this book. It resides at the back of my closet, I never use it and probably never will. Problem is, I can't find any book on pottery marks that does do the job. The Kovels annual price guides are also a fat waste of money, don't bother.

This is a great book for looking up marks............but as a freind once told me no one knows it all .....and either do the Kovels. Some marks are crying for more information..others..are dying to be included here.
Still...I feel they worked long and hard compiling this much info
and if you need some of it ....a lot will be found in this book.
