Determining quality when buying handmade pottery
- Sound of earthenware: If you tap the body of a healthy and well-fired earthenware vessel, you should hear a clear ringing sound (like a bell). Muffled sound indicates incomplete firing or the presence of small cracks in the inner texture of the pottery. Glaze surface: Glaze should be uniform, without bubbles and without unwanted cracks. Of course, some hairline cracks in certain glazes (such as crackers) are artistic, but in consumer dishes, the surface should be polished.
- Stability and symmetry: Although slight asymmetry is normal in handmade works, the dish should not be wobbly or tilted. The bases of the vessels produced in "Fan Pottery and Art of Hands" are all carved and completely level.
- Weight: Pottery should not be too heavy or too light. Proportional weight indicates standard wall thickness.
