Marks and monograms on European and oriental pottery and porcelain, with historical notices of each manufactory; over 3500 potters' marks and illustrations

Chaffers, William, 1811-1892, Litchfield, Frederick, b. 1850 · 1908 · London : Reeves and Turner · 15 pictures

A reference catalogue of pottery and porcelain marks compiled by William Chaffers and Frederick Litchfield and published in London by Reeves and Turner in 1908, covering European and Asian manufactories with historical notes. The pictures are small line drawings of potters' marks: a cross inside a circle, a ring of circles, a monogram-like initial pair, a crowned cipher, and a plate with an impressed stamp. A designer could draw on their compact, labelled monogram and emblem vocabulary for logos or heraldic-style marks.
