Real-World Pottery Buying Stories

We're diving into pottery using recent buying stories! Here, we break down some basic pottery terminology (ceramics, porcelain, stoneware, salt glaze) to help you identify what you're looking at while shopping estate or garage sales. We also discuss why we bought some inexpensive vintage pottery books and drop a few excellent pottery names you can be on the lookout for yourself: Shawnee, Roseville, Rookwood, and California pottery brands. We're also letting you in on a recent pottery experiment. We bought 2 very different lots (rustic vs. refined-looking porcelain), two different price points and two very different values.
