A manual of marks on pottery and porcelain : a dictionary of easy reference
A manual of marks on pottery and porcelain, a reference dictionary compiled by William Harcourt Hooper and William Charles Phillips and published in London and New York by Macmillan in 1886, aimed at collectors and dealers identifying makers' and reign marks. The pictures are pages of Chinese seal-script and character marks set beside their romanised readings, showing how stamped reign and maker marks were drawn in ornamental, rounded forms that could inspire lettering, emblem, or monogram designs.
