How "comprehensive" can this be? Just looking at the first source on my shelf (Kovel and Kovel 1986) they claim to identify "over 3500" marks, and even that doesn't cover everything....

Ceramic Makers' Marks

Coming October 2010, 256 pages, $24.95 Paper
Available for Pre-order!
Erica Gibson’s comprehensive guide provides a much-needed catalogue of
ceramic makers' marks of British, French, German, and American origin found
in North American archaeological sites. Consisting of nearly 350 marks from
112 different manufacturers from the mid-19th through early 20th century,
this catalog provides full information on both the history of the mark and
its variants, as well as details about the manufacturer. A set of indexes
allow for searches by manufacturer, location, mark elements, and common
words used. This guide will be of interest not only to historical
archaeologists, but material culture specialists, collectors, museum
professionals, students, art historians, and others interested in ceramics.
