How do I identify Shino pottery?

How do I identify Shino pottery?
To identify Shino pottery, study the surface under a magnifying glass. On authentic pieces, you will see tiny holes all along the surface of the pottery. Real Shino will also usually have a heavy white glaze with noticeable red scorch marks created by the firing process. You'll find a collection of expertly vetted Shino pottery on 1stDibs.
