Marks on Chinese Ceramics

Castle Cary: Gerald Davison Ltd., 2021. Book. As New. Hardcover. Bound in red faux leather with gold lettering. This 2021 edition depicts 4190 marks beautifully reproduced in colour and still compiled in sections and groupings to make recognition of such unfamiliar shapes as easy as possible.

The range of marks include not only those in the regular kaishu script but also some 650 marks redrawn in the classical zhuanshu seal script form, together with a range of pictorial symbols. Finally the very detailed 100 page directory section then provides a wide range of historical, dating, geographical and mythological information for each mark where available. Illustrated with color photographs. New copy. 400 pp., 24 x 16 cm. .
