Welcome to marksfinder.com The FREE pottery & porcelain marks search site.

Royal Worcester teapot, painted with apples and blackberries by W J Bagnall. Date code for 1926 (crack to rim) printed marks 14cm high. Est £300/400, sold £280

The web pages shown here are just the beginning of this website – it will start with a selection of marks and monograms from the world’s most important pottery and porcelain factories mainly taken from the book,  Pottery and Porcelain Marks by E. George Perrott. Plus the marks of 300 studio artists from the book The Ceramics Book – An A-Z Guide to Ceramic Artists by kind permission of Ceramics Review Publishing Ltd.

Probably, it will take something like four to six weeks to complete this part of this site but it will be worth the wait if you are a collector or dealer in pottery or porcelain, because it will carry more than 15,000  marks which will include British and European, American, Chinese and Japanese marks.

You will be able to find the back stamps of the Great Ming Dynasty, the marks of the Renaissance period, including the 16th century Italian ‘Maiolica’.  The German and French 16th century ‘Faience’, the early 17th century Dutch ‘Delft’ wares and onto the great factories of Europe including Meissen, Sevres and the English factories of Wedgwood, Derby, Worcester, Minton and Doulton.

The Bather (HN4244) Royal Doulton figure designed by L. Harradine 18.5cm high. Re-issued from original model HN1708.

Eventually, after we have loaded the pottery and porcelain marks we intend to add extra marks to the site like silver, glass, furniture etc. We hold a fair amount of data within these subjects but we would always welcome more, and in this endeavour would appreciate if any viewers would help us in this task by contacting us with any information of factories or individuals who produced such items, that we might  legally be able to use.
