You have reached the web site of Lecturer, Author and former Art Dealer Gerald Davison FRSA. This contains information on his biography, lectures and his unique books on the marks that appear on antique Chinese pottery and porcelain.

A new and much expanded 'Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics', covering this time some 3500 unique marks in both the kaishu and zhuanshu forms of script, is due for publication in 2010. Already eight years in the making, further news on this will appear here during 2009 as an exact publication date becomes clear.

Please note that valuations by email are not possible but if you are seeking help identifying an unusual Chinese mark then send clear, high resolution but small JPEG images to:-
