  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell if pottery is rare, you'll need to conduct some research using trusted online resources. In order to be rare, a piece either needs to be so old that few other examples remain or be produced in limited quantities.

Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of pottery.
