Encyclopedia of British Marks
Having just decided to collect antiques as a hobby I was desperately in need of a book which enabled me to authenticate marks with some certainty. This book has become my bible and has enabled me to progress from an amateur to a person with limited knowledge, who is gradually building up her knowledge of marks. Couldn't have coped without it. Clear to follow and helpful in identifying the period manufactured. A must for any keen collector.

A must have for dealers and collectors of English ceramics
The primary reference book used by dealers and collectors to identify their antique and vintage English china, pottery and porcelain. It's a fabulous book, whether you're trying to identify anchors or crowns, As or Bs, or want to check what your date mark means - this is the book for you. Illustrated with thousands of marks from English manufacturers. Very easy to use. Highly recommended. Often referred to as the 'bible' by collectors and dealers in England. It would be cheap at double the price.

This is the only book you'll need
How I got by without this bible of potters marks I just don't know. The cross references are superb and make it simple to track down old manufacturers to their modern-day guises. This is the only potteries' reference book you will ever need. I wish I had taken notice of previous reviews on Amazon before wasting money on other, lesser, publications.
