Art pottery is a type of ceramics that is typically created for decorative purposes, rather than for functional use. Art pottery is often handmade and may be decorated with intricate patterns, glazes, and finishes. Some art pottery is also molded

There are many different types of art pottery, including earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, and terra cotta. Each type has its own unique characteristics and is made from different materials and firing techniques

Art pottery is often made by hand, using a variety of techniques including throwing on a wheel, hand-building, and molding. The clay is shaped and then fired in a kiln to harden it. After the pottery has been fired, it may be glazed and fired again to give it its final finish.  A lot of art pottery such as later Roseville, Weller, Van Briggle, Marblehead and Rookwood was made from molds.  

To care for your art pottery, handle it gently. If you are not experienced with cleaning pottery it is typically best to avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials. The safest way to clean your pottery is to simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
