How do I identify Pewabic pottery?

To identify Pewabic pottery, look on the interior or bottom of a piece for identifying marks. On some pieces, the maker has impressed a marking directly onto the surface, while on others, a paper or foil label was used. A wide variety of markings have been used over the years, but most have displayed the Pewabic name. You can find images and descriptions of Pewabic’s markings on trusted online resources and use these as a guide for identifying your piece. If you can't find a marking, the paper or foil label may have become detached over the years. In this case, having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your pottery may help with the identification process. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Pewabic pottery.
