An exceptionally comprehensive reference for identifying and dating European porcelain and ceramics, Markenlexikon: Porzellan und Keramik Report 1885–1935 by Dieter Zühlsdorff was published by Arnoldsche in Stuttgart in 1988.
This substantial 753-page reference volume documents porcelain and ceramic marks used across continental Europe between 1885 and 1935. Designed as a practical identification tool for collectors, dealers, historians, and researchers, it brings together thousands of factory marks, artist signatures, monograms, trademarks, and other identifying symbols.
The illustrated marks are systematically organized for visual identification, with accompanying date ranges and cross-references leading to additional information on manufacturers, designers, artists, and factories. The volume also incorporates manufacturer documentation, artist biographies, technical terminology, exhibition information, bibliography, and index material.
The publisher describes the first section as containing approximately 9,000 illustrations of artist signatures, factory marks, and trademarks, making this an unusually extensive resource for researching late 19th- and early 20th-century European ceramics.
The period covered is particularly useful for identifying porcelain, art pottery, and ceramics from the Historicism, Art Nouveau/Jugendstil, Art Deco, and early Modernist periods. The book remains cited in reference material concerning individual European porcelain manufacturers and their historical marks.
A particularly useful working reference for collectors and dealers of German and Continental European porcelain and ceramics.
