DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from How to Collect Continental China This little book has been written to meet the demand for a handy guide to the identification of the porcelain made on the continent of Europe chiefly during the eighteenth century. It does not pretend to be an exhaustive treatise on the subject; such a work would fill many very much larger volumes; neither does it profess to present new and original discoveries in the history of ceramics. The writer has contented himself with an attempt to present in a compact form all that is essential for the average collector of continental porcelain to know regarding the history of any old European factory whose productions he is likely to meet with. The marks characteristic of each factory are placed at the end of each section dealing with it; it has not been found possible to include all the varieties of each different mark, but the author would call attention to the fact that too much importance is often given by collectors, especially those who have not had long experience, to the exact drawing of a device or to the precise form of a letter composing the mark on a piece of china.
