Why buy US handmade pottery?

Pottery made outside of the US does not have to meet FDA food grade standards, that means that foreign made pottery and ceramics can use lead based pigments in their glazes, which are toxic and can have serious health issues if you are eating or drinking from foreign made pottery.

There is a long tradition of pottery and ceramics making in various parts of the USA many since colonial times.  Pottery making has often been passed down from generation to generation, improving the rich fabric of Arts and Crafts in America.  Many of these potters do not make much money, and do what they do because they love what they are doing, it is the artist in them.
