How do you identify stoneware?
1 Answer
To identify stoneware, study its surface closely. Compared to porcelain and earthenware, stoneware pottery often has a rougher texture. An unfinished bottom can also be a clue that a piece is stoneware, but some makers do finish the bottoms of their pieces. If you find any markings on your piece, researching the maker can give you an idea of whether or not that particular artisan or company ever produced stoneware. If you are still uncertain about what type of pottery you have, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can help you. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of stoneware pottery.
