Look no further, spend no more
This is THE book anyone needs to identify Brtitish pottery I have only had it a few days and already it has been so invaluable its worth its weight in gold. Every possible British mark is covered. Once you have this book you will not need any other so dont time and money on other cheaper version go for it with this one and you will not be disaapointed

THE "BIBLE" ON MARKINGS FOR POTTERY & PORCELAIN
No matter what item of pottery or porcelain you are trying to research, this should be the first thing you reach for. Long considered to be the "bible" for dealers and collectors. My own copy has long since lost its shiny new look and is now a battered, well used and reliable source of information. Along with British Studio Potters Marks by Yates, Owen & Fournier, you really should not need anything else to find out all you need on backstamps and markings. Obviously other reference books come into their own on antiques and should also be purchased but for a first point of reference, these two books should be your first purchases and both will save you making very costly mistakes no matter how experienced you are.

Well done Geoffrey A. Godden
A fantastic book that gives you the name and the location of the markings of british pottery and ceramics if its not in this book then its probably cheap tat!Makes going to car boot sales , auctions, Second hand shops and charity shops quite exciting as you are constantly wanting to use your knowledge!!
Don't be cheap buy this book and get on with your life..!!
