The F.O.E. Marks File
On this page, we list common porcelain/pottery marks that either are or were used on fakes, reproductions or brand new items 'trimmed' to look old. Every story told you by the seller declaring the items being something else as described here is definately NOT TRUE, and some even come up with false 'proof'. If you encounter such an 'antique', REPORT these immediately!
More marks will be added shortly ...
