A Dictionary Of Marks by Lucilla Watson

THE ANTIQUE COLLECTOR'S GUIDES are designed to help collectors in many fields with the basic problems of identifying an object, placing it in the context of its origin and likely date and thereby forming a reasonable judgement of its comparative value. A Dictionary of Marks, with its comprehensive coverage of metalwork and ceramics and selective coverage of furniture and tapestry, is an essential reference book for collectors. It is also useful to anyone with an interest in the way in which makers identified their work. There are sections on British and American metalwork, from silver and gold to pewter, with a selection of English, Scottish, Irish and American metalworkers and their marks. Coverage of ceramics includes the marks of most major English and European factories, and sections on Chinese and Japanese marks. In the field of furniture and tapestry, a selection of English, French and Flemish marks is given. The guide is organised for quick and easy reference, with clear illustrations.
