How to Buy Authentic Hand Made Pottery?

Handmade pottery is one of the oldest crafts known to man and that is still practiced. Handmade pottery makes excellent show pieces, thoughtful gifts or priceless collectibles. The perfect contours and exceptional designs are the hallmarks of handmade pottery, unlike machine made pottery pieces. However, while buying handmade pottery, you have to make sure that you are getting authentic stuff as the risk of replicas cannot be overlooked. Make sure that you are not being taken for a ride by the seller who passes off a look alike as an authentic handmade pottery worth a fortune.

While buying for handmade pottery pieces, make sure that you bargain for a lower price as the dealers are likely to give an exaggerated rate at the first instance. Make sure that you behave as if you know the ongoing market rates of the pottery and are a seasoned buyer. Novices and first time buyers are more likely to bite the high price bait.

Most dealers can spot a clueless shopper; so make sure that you make a thorough research of the products to get a fair idea of the price of the product before going for shopping. Once the dealer knows that they have a well informed customer at hand, they will not dare to pull a fast one on you. It is better to shop at respectable shops instead of antique stores or flea markets as it is easier to get what you are looking for in shops .

In case you are buying antique pieces of handmade pottery, make sure that you get to the history of the piece to know the period and the artist who made it. Antique pottery masks are more challenging because of their odd shapes and the absence of any markings in most cases.

Hand painted pottery, decorative plates and dinnerware is the easiest of the lot as it offers an impressive selection in all possible prices. Rare features like the crackling effect in the glaze makes it more valuable and different from the run of the mill stuff.

Buying handmade pottery could be an exhaustive task but with all the information and some nifty buying tips, you will become an expert in finding the best bargain deals.

What are some general handbuilding pottery ideas?

At my school, i am in a thing called independent study where i have two hours to hand build pottery. My teacher wants me to write a list of general ideas for pottery. What i have is:
Vases, candle holders, tea sets, and dish sets. I don't know what else i could create but i need a nice list at least. Anyone help please? I have to turn this in soon and i'm imagining what i can do only in those catagories. Just some suggestions??

I like making replicas of stuff, you can do alot with replicas like enlargements, modifications, etc. You can also turn replicas into candle holders for example I've made a giant quarter (as in about 10 in. in diameter) and also a statue of liberty candle holder.
