How do I identify studio pottery?
1 Answer

To identify studio pottery, look on the bottom of the piece for a maker's mark. Then, use an authoritative online resource to determine which artisan uses the mark. A licensed art appraiser can assist you if you have difficulty identifying the pottery on your own. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of expertly vetted studio pottery.
