What the source records

Chaffers records a Marieberg mark on a porcelain compotier and cover painted in pink camaïeu with roses and china-asters and gilt leaf borders, in the possession of Mr Horace Marryat.Chaffers 1891 · p.520
Another marked example was in the South Kensington Museum, presented by M. Christian Hammer of Stockholm.Chaffers 1891 · p.520
Further Marieberg marks are given by Mr G. H. Strale in his notice of the Rörstrand and Marieberg keramic fabriques of the eighteenth century.Chaffers 1891 · p.520

Why this differs from other listings

Chaffers points onward rather than pretending completeness: he names G. H. Strale's notice on Rörstrand and Marieberg as where the fuller set of marks is recorded. That is a citation a reader can follow, and more useful than a partial list presented as the whole.
