Most people read the biggest name on the bottom of a plate and stop there. That is exactly where antique porcelain identification goes wrong.

Here we turn real pieces over and read porcelain marks and china backstamps the way specialists do: what job is each mark doing, and does the object agree? One plate can carry marks from three hands: the factory, the painter, and the shop.

You will see why "Limoges" tells you where but not who, how one Haviland design for the White House carried a different mark from the same design sold to the public, why country names like Nippon and Czechoslovakia are boundaries rather than birth certificates, a flashlight trick that brings back marks your camera erases, and what a crowned N can and cannot prove. We finish with a Metropolitan Museum plate made on a French blank and painted by an American china painter.
