About this product

Product Information

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

    Good reference book

    I think this book is a great reference book, especially for the bigger name vintage/antique china makers. I was a little disappointed that they left out a few marks that I have on the back of some of my plates but I think I have an older version. The Haviland marks were good. It could use a bit more information I think, like why certain pieces have additional markings on them but that would probably make the book a third thicker! I bought it specifically for a few Homer Laughlin marks and RS Prussia marks and those weren't in there but it is really a GREAT reference especially when you don't feel like going on the internet and searching forever. It would be nice too if they lumped the china makers marks together, like all Haviland in one section and then all Spode in another, but I still ...

    Excellent and FUNNNN!

    I have “researched” many of my Grandmama’s dear Chinas… just fascinating ! Love this book- bought extras for daughters for when they will be curious themselves to search to know who what where when how - and to contemplate the world at the time of their patterns makings from 1880s through WWII. Just is incredible way to tell my Grandchildren about world history and their GreatGreat, GreatGrandmamas in England. Highly recommended.

    Kovel is the place to look for china marks and their history.

    Not the best novel, but great and exciting to those of us who like to chase the provenance of our collections.

    A very resourceful book!

    Thank you. I've been needing this book for quite some time but didn't know it existed until a friend told me about it. I've already found answers to my questions about manufacturers marks!
