Pottery Mark
Pottery marking is the unique way in which a piece of pottery is identified. This type of identification dates back to the 17th century when potters in England began using this method as a way of identifying their pottery from that of other potters. In addition, they sometimes placed names and dates on pieces of pottery. The websites below list some resources to aid in locating the origin and time period of some markings.
