How do you spot fake Gouda pottery?

To spot fake Gouda pottery, consult trusted online resources to determine what markings should be on your piece. Gouda is a city in the Netherlands, not one manufacturer. Several factories have produced Gouda pottery, and each one has used different markings. Counterfeiters often don't research where to place the marking on a replica, and many fake pieces will show a pattern associated with one maker but be marked with the maker of another. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can offer support in the identification process for Gouda pottery. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Gouda pottery.
