European porcelain was born in the German city of Meissen in 1708. Until now, no source book was available to show the marks used by manufacturers, factories and decorators from the beginning to the present. Marks on German, Bohemian and Austrian Porcelain 1710 to the Present includes more than 3,300 marks, many of them previously unpublished.
