Publisher's Synopsis
A Book of Pottery Marks (1897) by William Percival Jervis is a comprehensive guide to identifying and understanding the marks found on pottery. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides an overview of pottery marks, their history, and their significance. The second part of the book is a collection of over 3,000 marks from various pottery manufacturers, arranged alphabetically for easy reference. Each mark is accompanied by a description of the manufacturer, their location, and the period during which the mark was used. The book also includes illustrations of some of the most common marks, as well as a glossary of terms used in the pottery industry. This book is an invaluable resource for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the history and art of pottery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
