Dictionary of Marks: Pottery and Porcelain par Ralph Kovel
Good info. Would Google be better?
A comprehensive overview of maker marks for early pottery and porcelain. Organized by style of mark, the user can navigate through mark styles to locate maker marks. Also includes maker information as well as dates of operation.
This reference for bottle collectors lists bottles by manufacturer. There are sparse black and white pictures with basic descriptions and values. There is a special insert in the middle with full color pictures and descriptive text. Not all bottles are antiques, some are made especially for the collectibles market.
Good reference work for identifying antiques through pictures, makers' marks, and descriptions.
