Chinese Porcelain Marks Identification

Jan-Erik Nilsson has created an informational website about Chinese porcelain marks. About about 800, mostly Chinese, different marks are included in his introduction section. Still more marks can be identified by category in additional links.

Here’s an excerpt: “The marks might be bewilderingly difficult to recognize and it might even be hard to see if it is Japanese or Chinese. As a general rule Chinese marks are more regular and the characters within the mark, are mostly of about the same sizes. If the mark looks more like an artist’s signature, the mark might be Japanese.”
