Pottery and porcelain of all times and nations; with tables of factory and artists' marks for the use of collectors
A survey history of ceramics by American collector and writer William Cowper Prime, published by Harper & Brothers in New York in 1878 for collectors and amateurs, with appended tables of factory and artists' marks. Wood-engraved vessels are drawn in outline with fine hatching and cast shadows, showing jugs, amphorae, ewers and vases with scrolled handles, banded borders and painted ornament; the mark tables supply hundreds of small monograms, ciphers and symbols usable as stock devices.
