Piece Pottery

Having a pot of antiques and want to know how old is he? The easiest way is to look for the logo of those responsible in a reference book or a website. What if there is no makers name – there may still be many clues to help you. Here is part 3 of my basic guide to the collection of ceramics old and the 20th century.

How to date a pot without backstamps: The easiest way to date a pot is often a ringing manufacturers. But what if the base does not has markings at all? What clues can be used to help with the data?

Below you can see the style – perhaps his post-modern warfare, dating from the 1950 and 1970.

If you are lucky enough to encounter a brand manufacturers that can use reference books and Web sites to help date your bottle. There are other brands that may be helpful: England Word was made on the base of the pots, where the country of manufacture was required by the Act of 1891 McKinley tarriff.
