  This new edition of the Danckert - the benchmark in terms of reference books in European Porcelain - has been very thoroughly revised and considerably expanded by the author. The 980-page work now contains more than 3,200 keywords and approximately 5,800 porcelain maker's marks. The clear design and arrangement in directory form mean the many different variations of the same marks can be quickly and reliably identified. Additional information on everything worth knowing about individual manufacturers transforms the Danckert into an indispensable and practical work of reference. The new edition dispenses with the former Appendix containing some 861 items of supplementary information, which has now been incorporated, in alphabetical order, into the keyword section. At the same time, this comprehensive directory on porcelain includes 400 new keywords, more than 300 newly discovered porcelain marks and vast additional material on dates based on the latest research.
