If in America +there was a general tendency toward acquiring, even a smattering, of this +knowledge, there would be less of these drawing-room atrocities which +Arthur Hayden in his "Chats on English Earthenware" points out, "To have a +modern set of vases adorning a Georgian cabinet is like putting new wine +in old bottles." + +For the convenience of the seasoned collector, as well as the beginner, +in this book is a representative list of better known marks by which china +can be identified. While it is not possible to include a complete list, +particularly those of extremely rare specimens, those compiled have +particular reference to the marks of English china which is greatly in +demand by collectors. These will suffice to enable the reader to identify +pieces whenever encountered. + +The signatures or mark which the master craftsmen in earth or clay signed +their products, just as a painter signs his work, were often specially +designed devices of various kinds, often a combination of initials and +dates. Each "fabrique mark" stands for a certain potter's art just as the +modern trade-mark. + +Beginning more than a half century ago in the old La Farge House in lower +Broadway (where John La Farge was born) the house of Gilman Collamore and +Company has done much to develop an appreciation of fine china in America. +It was one of the first houses to bring over from England and France +china, both modern and old, for its American clients. At this time many +fine specimens of old china are on view as well as complete stocks from +the modern English and Continental manufacture. + + GILMAN COLLAMORE & COMPANY, INC. + 15 EAST 56TH STREET + NEW YORK + + + + +Germany and Austria + + +[Illustration] + +DRESDEN + +MEISSEN.

If in America -there was a general tendency toward acquiring, even a smattering, of this -knowledge, there would be less of these drawing-room atrocities which -Arthur Hayden in his "Chats on English Earthenware" points out, "To have a -modern set of vases adorning a Georgian cabinet is like putting new wine -in old bottles." - -For the convenience of the seasoned collector, as well as the beginner, -in this book is a representative list of better known marks by which china -can be identified. While it is not possible to include a complete list, -particularly those of extremely rare specimens, those compiled have -particular reference to the marks of English china which is greatly in -demand by collectors. These will suffice to enable the reader to identify -pieces whenever encountered. - -The signatures or mark which the master craftsmen in earth or clay signed -their products, just as a painter signs his work, were often specially -designed devices of various kinds, often a combination of initials and -dates. Each "fabrique mark" stands for a certain potter's art just as the -modern trade-mark. - -Beginning more than a half century ago in the old La Farge House in lower -Broadway (where John La Farge was born) the house of Gilman Collamore and -Company has done much to develop an appreciation of fine china in America. -It was one of the first houses to bring over from England and France -china, both modern and old, for its American clients. At this time many -fine specimens of old china are on view as well as complete stocks from -the modern English and Continental manufacture. - - GILMAN COLLAMORE & COMPANY, INC. - 15 EAST 56TH STREET - NEW YORK - - - - -Germany and Austria - - -[Illustration] - -DRESDEN - -MEISSEN.
