How do you identify studio pottery marks?
To identify studio pottery marks, you can first try photographing the marking and performing a reverse image search. In some cases, this approach will lead to a quick identification. When it doesn't, you can enter a description of the marking into a search engine or look for images of the marks in trustworthy reference guides. If you need further assistance, seek the advice of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of pottery.
