Confusing Pottery MarksA reader added to our mark information in the last Kovels Komments. Not all pieces of porcelain and pottery marked with the initials NC are Newcomb. There was also a company in Germany that used this mark and another in Japan.
We know marks are often copied. It should be viewed as helpful information, not as a perfect way to identify the maker of an item. Most faked marks: crossed swords (Meissen), Crown and N (Capo-di-Monte), and the Sevres stylized L's.
