While the best marks are the actual name or initials of the potter, we can also learn a great deal from the numbers found on larger pots. Each potter used his own numbering stamps or techniques to indicate the capacity of his pots. While jugs were probably the most commonly manufactured form of Texas pottery, old examples are relatively rare today. Besides scarcity, the artistic beauty of the jug form makes them more desirable to many collectors. Ovoid forms are more valuable than straight sided forms.
Unusual handles add value.
Molded vessels less valuable than hand-thtown vessels. These are estimates only. There are no hard prices for Texas pottery at this time.
