Excerpt from China and Pottery MarksThe signatures or mark which the master craftsmen in earth or clay signed their products, just as a painter signs his work, were often specially designed devices of various kinds, often a combination of initials and dates. Each fabrique mark stands for a certain potter's art just as the modern trade-mark.Beginning more than a half century ago in the old La Farge House in lower Broadway (where John La Farge was born) the house of Gilman Collamore and Company has done much to develop an appreciation of fine china in America. It was one of the first houses to bring over from England and France china, both modern and old, for its American clients. At this time many fine speci mens of old china are on view as well as complete stocks from the modern English and Continental manufacture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
