Thread: How to identify China

  1. #1

    Default How to identify China

    Anyone know of an internet site dedicated to helping identify old pieces of china? I have only a mark - no makers name. :roll:

    I always use Goddens Porcelain Marks book, you can get it from the library as it is rather expensive to buy.
    If you send me a piccy of the mark I will try and look for you.

    I use my millers guides, they are inexpensive to buy.
    But a good online site, which includes lots of links is.

    http://www.potterymarks.co.uk/

    Hope this helps. :wink:

    Thanks for the info. The potterymarks site looked promising but database was not there!
    I will have to get a piece scanned - might take a while as belongs to a friend. :roll:

    Is there any chance that you could put a pic of the mark on here so we can all see it. One of us may recognise it.
