Questions About Rare Pottery
  • 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. By researching the maker and learning more about pottery similar to yours, you can determine whether these conditions apply to items in your collection. Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of pottery.
