Pottery Stamps/Marks

Came across the following link with regards to pottery stamps/markings.

The following link "should" lead to researched publications available on Southern Pottery:

Please note...not all the marks on the aforementioned site relate specifically to our period...but should serve to assist in weening out non-period stamps/variations...

A few years ago, before the crashes...we once had a thread/two devoted to identifying pottery marks/stamps and styles...perhaps this might help to revitatlize that topic??

The following book may also shed some light on glassware pottery originating from the Petersburg, VA Area:

Re: Pottery Stamps/Marks

Paul,

I posted about 60 images of ca 1855 back marks and stamps and can't find that file anywhere. It'll take some time but I can probably put it back together. I'll pop a teaser on here tonight.

The neat thing about the thread was that the shards were all found at CW related sites. When I could I posted the shards along with matching intact examples. I added notes to most of them and had a short chronology of one particular pattern's markings.
