THANK YOU for your support, YOU make The Marks Project POSSIBLE!

THE MARKS PROJECT, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit creating the first online research hub for American studio ceramics. This is a searchable, on-line database of American studio ceramic makers working from 1946 to present and their marks, signatures, back stamps etc.
