Handy reference book! - By: Michael Bermingham, 03 Mar 2006
This book is excellent for anyone with an interest in porcelain collecting.All the major British porcelain factories are included with clear reference to their various marks.The various marks are tied to the different manufacturing periods of each factory.There is also a brief history of each pottery works.
This book also includes details of many lesser known porcelain factories.There is also an explanation of how to interpret the general registration marks used for alll porcelain items c1839-c1999.At the end of the book is a most helpful list of registration numbers used from 1884 up to 1999.
With the help of this book I have been able to date various pieces I purchased on ebay-even when the sellers were unaware of dates of pieces!Highly recommended!!
