Places to buy and sell pottery online

Here are two places online where you can see what other people are making and how much they're charging for it:

Etsy is a website where hobbyists and professionals alike can offer work for sale online. There's very wide range of quality, styles and prices for pots here. Also some jewelry and non-functional items.

Akar features higher-end work by well-respected ceramic artists and potters.
