Where to find authentic pieces

Look for known workshops and craft markets, and inspect the glaze, rim and base closely. Ask the potter how the piece was made and fired, and compare prices before you buy. Buying directly supports the craft and gets you a well-made piece that lasts. Pair a visit with a stroll through the town's markets to enjoy the full craft experience.
