Pictorial Guide to Pottery & Porcelain Marks by Chad Lage (2003, Hardcover, Illustrated)

Full of misinformation. Who is this guy? Absolutely ridiculous attribution to some made in Japan figurines (piano babies). He says they are made by Camille Naudot. Preposterous! Naudot was dead before those 1940-50's piano babies were made. These exact ones with the embossed NC mark, also are found with the original "Andra of Sadek" paper label, which also says made in Japan. They are not French, and NOT NAUDOT! Naudot had a printed mark usually found in blue. (Never embossed!)..tall skinny N,elongated C. Not the Japan import mark that is found on figurines and ceramics from Japan after world war II. These companies from Japan all have the embossed NC mark: Andrea, Arnart, Ucago, Lefton, and about several others. His misidentification is causing people to make false claims about their inexpensive made in Japan items. Camille Naudot's work is in museums. He did not make figurines! His style is soft-paste, like Sevres. The quality of his work is far superior than all of those millions of marked NC made in Japan ceramics/porcelain items.

Terrible, awful book, that should be completely discounted as a reference book.
