There are several online Facebook groups that are monitored by many collectors. You may request to join the group(s) and post photos of your piece with a written description and your question(s) to the group (using the guidelines set forth by the groups – these can be found under the “About” section or the “Announcements” section of a group). Here are some Facebook groups that I recommend:
“Just North Carolina Pottery to 1975”
“Southern Folk Pottery Collectors Society”
“Studio Pottery Collectors”
“Pottery Collector”
