The New & Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics
"I cannot claim with certainty that this is the definitive version of a book on this subject even with approaching 3400 marks. However there can now only be a small number of marks, if any, prior to the 20th century that are not included. It has become increasingly evident that a range of totally new but nevertheless spurious marks have appeared on reproduction items made in recent years - such is the way of the world and for obvious reasons these have been avoided. The subject of Chinese ceramics has been a passion for me since I was a very young man. Fifty years is a very long time to have derived so much pleasure from these often breathtakingly beautiful objects and I now hope that in some very small way this work can contribute to other's understanding and pleasure in this field." excerpt from the introduction by Gerald Davison.
