A typical search phrase might be something like "k and crown".
Use of the word 'Royal' denotes a date after the 1850's and the words 'bone china' on a pottery mark means that the ware must be of the 20th Century.
The famous Staffordshire knot only occurs after 1845 and was used most prolifically from 1870 to 1890. A diamond shaped registration mark occurs only after 1843.
Remember that the trade-marks act came in in 1862 so therefore incorporation of the words 'Trade Mark' in a mark must be later - normally after 1875. Similarly, the word 'Limited', or 'Ltd' denotes a date after 1861.
The abbreviation 'R N' (for Registered Number) followed by numerals means a date subsequent to 1883.
U.S China makers were much more loose on marking their wares with pottery marks. Wedgwood of England were the forerunners in systematically marking their china wares in the early 1800's.
The US makers began to follow suit eventually, bearing in mind many of the American wares started off as utilitarian in nature, only gradually becoming more and more decorative and ornate, culminating in the fabulous and award winning bone china of Knowles Taylor Knowles.
Lennox, Haviland, Gorham and Franciscan, to name but a few, are other American china makers with a fine pedigree and names to look out for.
Some general guidelines for Lennox would be to look out for a green wreath pottery mark. This marking was used on wares between 1906 and 1930. 'Made in USA' was added in 1931.
This ceramic mark continued to be used until 1953 when the green color was changed to a gold. The gold wreath continues until present production.
To understand Haviland marks, you first have to understand the various Haviland companies who were entwined in a morass of competition, merger and re-merger.
The crossed swords of Meissen are taken from the coat of arms of Saxony. The 'latinized' double 'L' pottery markings of Sevres were taken from their patron French King Louis XV.
These European hand-painted markings can be more of a disadvantage than an advantage in identifying pottery marks due to the fact that they are so easily copied.
However, remember this quirky fact - some of the forgeries and fakes, especially the older wares are highly prized collectibles in their own right and very valuable.
Look out particularly for the examples of Emile Sampson's copies of Worcester, Meissen and Chelsea, made in the 1800's. There are also many French hard-paste reproductions of early soft-paste Sevres.
Similarly, in Dresden they are adept at making replicas of early Meissen - all signed with pottery markings made to look suspiciously similar to those of the true originals.
Valuing Your China Wares
In reality, there are two jobs to do if you seriously need to value your china set, both of which this website will help you with:
The first is to identify the specific pottery mark and once that is done, the second job is to get an idea of the value.
If you are having trouble identifying a specific makers mark, scroll to the bottom of the page and look to see if it is already one of the marks queries by subscribers to the Newsletter see here).
The
China Manufacturers A to Z guide
here on this site should give you the information you need about most notable makers. If you can't find a listing on your wares, check with the site search box at the top of this or the homepage.
Handwritten symbols and initials are more than likely European porcelain (valuable!). No markings on plain old looking utilitarian looking wares can mean old (valuable!). Lack of the words 'Royal' and 'Bone China' on English famous makers wares can suggest very old (very valuable).
Any china enthusiast like me (or collector for that matter) will automatically pick up any piece of china, in restaurants, charity shops and other peoples' houses, and look studiously at the pottery trade-mark. Its akin to OCD - a compulsion which cannot be denied. We know who we are!!
Buy it and find out why ebooks work – much more efficient than carrying around lots of heavy books on antiquing!! Have it on your laptop and it will save you time, money and effort - and show you how to earn income whilst having fun (like a mobile library).
