Comment reconnaître les porcelaines et les faïences d'après leurs marques et leurs caractères

Auscher, Ernest Simon, 1857- · 1914 · Paris, Garnier · 14 pictures

A 1914 Paris guide by Ernest Simon Auscher, published by Garnier, for collectors learning to identify porcelain and faience by their marks and characteristics. Its pictures are small line drawings of pottery makers' marks: monograms, wheels, crowns, and crossed strokes, set against cream paper. A designer could take from them a vocabulary of simple, repeatable mark-like emblems for logos or monograms.
