Questions About Hand Built Pottery
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell if pottery is hand-painted, examine its surface closely with a magnifying glass. Often, the hand-painting process leaves behind visible brushstrokes that you can see when you magnify the piece. Also, slight variations in patterns may indicate that a person completed the detail work rather than a machine. If you need assistance evaluating your pottery, take it to a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Explore a diverse assortment of pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    In pottery, hand-thrown means that an artisan produced it by hand using a certain technique. Specifically, the crafter used a potter's wheel to turn the piece and then used their hands or tools to shape the clay. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of antique and vintage pottery.
