Pottery Mark Identifier App
Photograph the whole ceramic piece, its underside, and the complete mark. AntiqSnap helps you start researching the item; specialist references help you verify what the mark means.
A backstamp is a clue. Give it context.
AI identification is most useful when you document the evidence and keep uncertain conclusions open. Use the result to organize your research, then compare the details with reliable references before making a buying or selling decision.
Photos to take before you scan
- A whole-object view showing shape and decoration
- A sharp underside photograph showing the foot and base
- A close-up of the complete mark, not just one letter
- Separate images of chips, cracks and repairs
What to do with the result
- Check whether the proposed identity agrees with what you can see.
- Record any suggested era, maker or material as a lead to investigate.
- Compare condition, dimensions and documented examples before using an estimated value.
For a formal appraisal or authentication, consult a relevant specialist. AntiqSnap’s photograph-based result does not replace inspection, metal testing or gemstone identification.
