How do I identify Deruta pottery?
To identify Deruta pottery, first look at the bottom of the piece. Authentic Deruta pottery will usually have an unglazed foot and will display a maker's mark. Using trusted online resources, you can determine if your piece is a Deruta and learn more about it. The opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also be helpful in the identification process. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Deruta pottery.
