HOW TO BUY

KNOW YOUR SELLER AUCTIONS THIS TYPE OF ITEM AND RECEIVES POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON BOTH THE ITEM AND HOW WELL IT WAS PACKED AND HOW IT ARRIVED.  MAKE SURE IT WAS AS DESCRIBED AND INTHE CONDITION IT WAS DESCRIBED .

EARTHENWARE MAY HAVE A FEW SMALL SURFACE CHIPS OR CRACKS IF IT IS OLD AND WAS CONSIDERED A USEFUL UTENSIL AS MOST OF THIS TYPE OF ITEM HAD TO HAVE MANY USES MANY YEARS AGO.

TODAYS POTTERY SHOULD BE WITHOUT CHIPS OR CRACKS BECAUSE IT IS MADE MAINLY FOR THE BEAUTY OF IT. 

OLD POTTERY HAD LEAD CONTENT, AS THE NEWER TYPE CAN BE USED FOR TABLE WARE BECAUSE IT IS LEAD FREE FROM APPROX. 1990 0N.  ONE MUST BE CAREFUL TO HANDLE IT GENTLY AS IT DOES CHIP BUT IS ALSO DURABLE.

DISPLAY YOUR REDWARE AND STONEWARE PROUDLY BECAUSE IT TRULY IS A WORK OF ART AND REQUIRES MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TO GAIN A FINISHED PRODUCT

THE THING I THINK MOST IMPORTANT ABOUT SELLING REDWARE POTTERY THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT IS TO GET TO KNOW THE POTTER AND HIS STYLES AND IDEAS.  I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO KNOW LESTER BREININGER . Ii HAVE SPENT MUCH TIME TALKING WITH HIM AND LEARNING FROM HIM, SO I FEEL CONFIDENT WHEN I SELL HIS POTTERY, WHICH I HAVE COLLECTED FOR A V ERY LONG TIME.  SOME OF THE  POTTERY I SELL MAY BE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY ARE NEW PIECES.

THE STYLES ARE GOING TO BLACKS AND BLUES AND BROWNS AND AWAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL YELLOW'S.

ENJOY YOUR POTTERY.
