Patricia,

What are the decorative styles of the pottery that you are looking at?

IMHO, most plain, painted, edged and/or dipped wares are NOT 
maker-marked.  And it does not really matter whether or not they are 
creamware, pearlware, or whiteware ...

Maker-marked and pattern-marked ceramics become the rule, rather than 
the exception with the transfer prints and the molded whitewares and 
white ironstones.
