General Rules of Pottery Marks

First you need to know some general rules that apply to identifying china marks. Just knowing these will make you seem like a bit of an egg-head expert to your friends!

For example, if you are looking at pottery marks in the US be aware that after 1890 all china and porcelain marks had to have the country of origin shown on all imported goods. There's a good tip for a start.

Secondly, lots of American collectors of china and ceramics have a penchant for English or British china makers and want to know how to interpret English pottery marks. So the first one to note is that the 'made in England' stamp must suggest 20th Century date to comply with the new 'country of origin' act.

Look For the Pottery Mark Clues!

Ok, remember this one also - amazingly, printed marks incorporating the Royal Arms must be of a 19th century date or later. In addition, if the name of the pattern is included on the backstamp of an English china mark, it must be after 1810.

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.

pottery marks - utility
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.

Important American China Makers Backstamps

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.

On this site there is a special Haviland Dinnerware page which enlightens this subject and is reviewed for accuracy by one of the leading Haviland experts in the US.

Use my page alongside the Haviland ceramics marks page of china antique site 'China Collectibles' in order to get a feeling for the Haviland pottery markings.

I also admire the artistry of Franciscan Pottery (see my listing here) and have found a fascinating website "Franciscan Marks Brochure (1962)" which has published a 1962 pottery marks catalog from the Franciscan archives - showing 20 pages of just about every trade-mark or backstamp Franciscan ever used.

Great European Porcelain

The great European porcelain makers however, like Meissen and Sevres, did mark their wares from the very beginning (1710). The European porcelain marks were characterized by a hand painted symbol or initials.

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.

Valuable Forgeries

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

It may well be that you have a set of marks you need to identify for valuation purposes and you need further help.

For a full explanation of all the resources on this site go here:-

Value of Antiques & Vintage China - Identification Help Page

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.

REMEMBER! I show how you can search for the value of your items on the China Replacement page.

Summary

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).
