Unidentified Maker's Marks Posted by Allie on July 18, 2012, 8:00 pm Hello, I am trying to identify a few pieces as to their pattern and production date and I can't find them in the database. All I have are complete maker's marks and small parts of the pattern. Anyone out there that can help? https://picasaweb.google.com/103860136149025804924/Unidentified?authkey=Gv1sRgCMzb5M-w9KWoGQ

Any suggested references (books, websites, etc) where I can look this up for more information about these pieces? Are they in the TCC database? Thanks Allie

Re: Unidentified Maker's Marks Posted by David Hoexter on July 19, 2012, 3:10 pm, in reply to "Re: Unidentified Maker's Marks" 75.36.143.10 Hi Allie, I like the following: Kowalsky and Kowalsky 1999, Godden 1964, and Henrywood 2002. Also the two Coysh/Henrywood Dictionaries. You will find complete information on these and hundreds more transferware publications on our website: Home page / Publications / Bibliography. Finally, lots of information on the website stoke-on-Trent-thepotteries.org, which you can link to from our Information Websites page.

Thanks for your help.

T. initials on Indostan stand for John Thompson, Annfield Pottery, Glasgow. The pattern is documented in "A Handbook of Scottish Ceramic Marks and Transfer Patterns" by Robin M. Jones and Douglas A. Leishman, published in Glasgow 2012. You are correct in that these patterns are not yet in the database.
