Questions About Pottery By Artists
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    What artists do is create objects that have aesthetic appeal using their creativity and technical skills. Artists work with many different types of materials to make paintings, sculptures, drawings, collages, installations and other media. In some cases, artists may produce artwork for a specific client, called a patron. Other times, artists make art to convey a message or evoke an emotion. In the latter situation, artists may eventually sell their work through exhibitions or dealers. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    What a limner artist is depends on the context, as the term has two meanings.

In American historical writings dating back to the colonial period, you may sometimes see portrait artists also referred to as limners. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of fine art.

    To identify your pottery, see if it has any stamps, incised markings, labels or tags on it. Researching your pottery markings using trusted online resources can help you determine its maker. In many cases, markings are also helpful for dating pottery. Unfortunately, some makers didn't mark their pieces regularly or used labels that were prone to detaching over the years. If your pottery is unmarked, it's usually necessary to use its characteristics to identify it. Because this method of identification requires in-depth knowledge of pottery, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you evaluate any unmarked pieces. Find a diverse assortment of pottery on 1stDibs.
