P K E F A C E.
THIS edition has been carefully revised and enlarged
by the addition of many new marks.
When first issued none of the marks of Japan had
been published. At that time information was difficult
to obtain, and much of it has since been found to be un-
reliable ; by the kind permission of Sir A. W. Franks
a large number of marks are now inserted, which will
be found to include all the factories of importance.
Being only intended for a pocket-volume, unimportant
factories and unknown marks are left out. For more
detailed information, the works of Brongniart, Chaffers,
Demmin, Jacquemart (admirably translated by Mrs.
Bury Palliser), Marryat, Robinson and others may be
consulted.
The work is divided into four parts ; in the first, the
Marks are classed under descriptive heads, as Anchor,
Animal, etc. ; in the second — Majolica — the factories of
Italy are arranged alphabetically; in the third, other
factories of Europe on the same plan ; and in the fourth,
the Oriental Marks are arranged by the number of
characters inscribed.
IV PREFACE.
The Marks on Pottery and Porcelain are of three
kinds — factory, workman, and pattern mark. The first
is usually placed in a prominent position, sometimes
accompanied by the mark of the maker or decorator.
Sevres Porcelain, for instance, often having four or five
workmen's marks, besides that of the factory. The
pattern mark is usually a number ; this is seldom given,
being useless without a description of the pattern
itself.
The Marks, when pencilled or incised, vary very con-
siderably ; a different hand, a full brush, or a flaw in
the material, all tend to make them unrecognizable ;
even when printed they are often blurred by the action
of the fire or running of the enamel, and when im-
pressed, a shrinking of the wet clay will change or
obliterate them.

MAJOLICA.
THE manufacture of Italian Pottery — generally known
as Majolica or RafFaelle ware — was foi many years under
the patronage of the Urbino family, and was principally
carried on at Urbino, Gubbio, Pesaro, Castel Dnrante, Faenza
and Dim c.i.
The ware is coarse and bar], but it is valued for the
decorations, which are from designs by RafFaelle, Michael
Angelo, Guilio Romano, and other great masters; and some
are thought to be painted with their own hands.
Marryat says : " It was the usual custom for the Artists
to write the title of the subject, in blue characters on the
back of the dish, but rarely to affix their names and place of
abode." The examples given will, it is hoped, be sufficient
for the identification of such marks as may be met with in
duplicate, those that arc given in type are too large for
ensravinor in a small handbook.

ORIENTAL MARKS.
CHINA.
CHINESE porcelain is said to date from about a century before the
Christian era ; their pottery is of the greatest antiquity, and, like the
porcelain, is of every quality. The oldest example that can now be
obtained is of the Ming period, though, if the marks could be relied on,
there are many pieces of the 10th century still to be found, but marks
are so easily imitated, and Chinese potters are so fond of reproducing
old patterns with marks complete, that very little reliance can be placed
upon them. The best periods of the manufacture of porcelain during
the Ming dynasty, were —
Yun^10 "• 1403 to 1424
Seuen-tih ... 1426 „ 1435
Ching-hwa 14C5 „ 1487
Kea-tsing 1522 „ 15G6
Wan-leih ... 1573 „ 1G19
Egg Shell" ware was first made in the Yung-lo period.
The £euen-t¥h was famous for all sorts of coloured ware.
1 86 Pottery and Porcelain.
The Ching-hwa produced the best ware and the finest
decoration. This mark commands larger prices in Europe
-£f- H 7 than any other. The dark rich blue of the Kea-tching and
the white granulated surface of the Wan-leili, are very
choice. " Old blue China," or Nankin ware, is from the Im-
perial factories at King-te-chin — a town of potters named after King-'e,
the Emperor, who first patronized the manufactory in 1004-1007. The
ware bore the "six mark" dates until 1667, when they were forbidden
by an edict from the governor of the province, lest any piece being
broken, the Emperor's name might be profaned by being carelessly
thrown on the dust heap. This blue ware was made by direction of the
Emperor, who ordered it to be of the colour of the sky after the winter
rains.
The marks on Chinese work are seldom either Factory or Painter's
marks. M. Stanislas Julien gives the mark of a potter of the Wan-leih
period, named Hao-chi-lihieoii, who excelled in writing verses and in
painting ; he appears to have taken religious vows and lived in retire-
, ^, -^ ment; his mark is Ou-in-tao-jin. Ou, the hermit. M.
•iPf H?. Jacquemart mentions a " six mark," " sold by Pei-tcliing,
AH5? made by Kien-ki." Some of those given are no doubt
In3\ makers' names — as San-yuh, Mountain of Gems ; but the
marks most commonly found are in four or six characters, and denote
the date of the manufacture.
The "six mark" may be made out from the table of dates without
much trouble, except from badly formed characters, handwriting being
as varied in China as elsewhere.
Chinese writing is arranged in columns commencing at tne right,
reading downwards. If in a horizontal line it reads from right to left.
Oriental,
KEEN SEUEN-TA

The first and second characters of the " six mark " show
woo- TA TA
EN- MING the dynasty, thus : ' the third and fourth, the peri od
C/tE| "ifc0 (n'een haou), name of the years; the fifth signifies
/!qpl year, and the sixth J|| made : thus, Ta-Ming, Hung-

Ming, Seuen-tth, neen, che. Made in the Seuen-tih period
of the Ming dynasty. 1426 to 1435.
The next example is —
Ta Ts'hing, Yung-ching, neen, die, Great Ts'hing (pure)
dynasty Yung-ching period. 1723 to 1735. The *' four
mark " is more troublesome, as it does not give the
dynasty it necessitates a search through the whole list of
dates ; it is read in the same order, thus : King-till
neen, che, made in the King-tih period, about 1004 to
1007.
The square marks called the Imperial Seal, which have
been in use from the beginning of the last century, are
read in the same way; they are written in an archaic
character that is only understood by antiquaries, and
are usually very badly done. In the list given, from the
best examples that could be obtained, it will be seen that
the first, second, fifth and sixth, which should be alike in all, vary
considerably; "four mark" seals are also given which show similar
variations.

Dates are also written thus : Wan-leih pah r>&n che.
\ Wan-leih eighth year, made 1580.
All these may be known as dates by the last characters,
Ween year ; and che, to make, form or fashion.
Sometimes another character is used, Neen tsaou, made
or make.
Ta Ming-she-heen, made in the time of the Great Ming
government. An example was found that probably read
thus : but it was too confused to be read with certainty ;
the piece waa modern ware.
Ta Ming neen che, made in the years of the Great Ming.
This is also to be found, but is probably a modern mark.
Another mode of dating is by the cycle of sixty years,
but as only the year of the cycle is given it does not
identify the period.

The first column is called the ten celestial stems, and
the second the twelve terrestrial branches. The twelve
"branches" are the Chinese Zodiac: The Rat, Bull,
Tiger, Eabbit, Dragon, Serpent, Horse, Sheep, Monkey,
Cock, Dog and Boar. The ten " stems " are double
characters ; they are allied to the five Chinese elements :
Water, Fire, Wood, Metal and Earth. This system is
also used in Japan and Siam. The 76th cycle commenced
in 1864.

The most interesting of these dates is that used in
the year 1721, Yew sin-choiv ne'^n che. Made in the Sin
chow year again (recurring). The Emperor Kang-he
came to the throne in the 38th year of the 68th cycle,
and died in 1722. He therefore had reigned for a whole
cycle on the recurrence of the 38th year in 1721, an
event unexampled in Chinese history.
In a later example the date is given both by the year
of the Emperor, and the year of the cycle.

BAT.
Fuh, used as a synonym for happiness.
DRAGON,
With five claws, is an Imperial emblem, with four, of
the blood royal, and with three, of the nobility. Lung-
fung, a dragon and a phoenix (divine bird of felicitous
omen), was a mark of the Scuen-to period, 1426 to H35.
FISH.
The two fish, an emblem of domestic felicity, is a
mark usually found on old blue or Nankin ware ; it is
one of the earliest known, from 969 to 1106. Cups with
handles in the form of- a red fish are of the Scucn-tc
period.
FLOWER.
Many varieties of this mark are found in blue and also
in colours. A sesamuin flower painted under the foot of
a vase, &c., is a mark of Tou-chcou, 969 to 1106.
The Che plant, a kind of fungus, used as an emblem
of longevity.

'95
GRASS.
Tho " grass mark" is probably a water plant. About
A.D. 960 some such mark was used to denote ware of the
best quality.
INSCRIPTIONS.
A great variety are to be met with on old porcelain,
often in the place where the European mark is found.
Some are compliments and good wishes; others are in
praise of the articles inscribed ; many are quotations from
the poets and classical authors of all ages. These last are
not exemplified.
Tsew, wine. Small white cups thus marked were used by
the Emperor Kea-tsing, 1522 to 15G6.
Keen, rectitude. Mark of an early period, said to be on
articles sent to disgraced Mandarins.
Show, long life. This is a common Oriental compliment,
" May you live for ever," and occurs oftcner
than any other character. It has many variations ;
sometimes a piece of pottery or porcelain is marked
with a hundred or more j these are called " the
hundred sliow."

These figures occur so often on old ware, especially that
intended for sacrificial use, that a few words may be given
to explain their purport.
The unbroken line Yang, represents the masculine or
perfection ; the divided line Yin, the feminine or imper-
fection. The group of four is called the Eze-seang or
four similitudes ; the eight are the Pa-qua or eight sym-
bols of Foh-he. The circle was added by Choiv, a member
of the Sung dynasty, who analysed and explained them.
The circle represents the original principle, the waved
line dividing it makes the dual power or the active and
passive principles of creation, it is called the Tae-Tceih,
this when in action, produced a male power, when at rest
a female power. From these were generated four visible
forms which represent in the innumerable combinations
of the eight symbols, the changes and transmutations
that take place in nature and in the affairs of the world.
2 1 6 Pottery and Porcelain.
JAPAN.
THE manufacture of pottery is said to date from B.C. 660. A factory
was established by Corean potters A.D. 200. The first good glazed
pottery was made at Seto about 1230, by Toshiro, who had learnt the
art in China. Porcelain is said to have been first made by Gorodaytt
Shonsui, who also studied in China, and on his return in 1513 settled in
Hizen.
The great centre of the Japanese manufacture is in the province of
Ilizcn, where twenty-five villages are congregated on a mountain which
affords a plentiful supply of material for their work. Other districts
have, however, their peculiar wares, some of which are undoubtedly of
great antiquity.
The marks used in Japan are usually the name of the factory or of
the maker or decorator ; sometimes all are given.
DATES
are marked in the same fashion as the Chinese, sometimas the year of the
period is written :
1580 -u± -ju. '_ Y 1653
As a rule it may be assumed that when an article is marked Dai
Nipon it is a modern production. Chinese periods are to be found on
work made after Chinese patterns.
