Some people fall in love with a specific manufacturer or artist and they take their time to collect as many of the pieces from that manufacturer as they can. Other people find a specific type of pottery that they like and they will collect as many of these specific pieces as possible. There are others that approach pottery collecting in a much different way, as they will actually collect all of the pottery and ceramic pieces from a certain time period. Many people like antique pieces, others like more modern pieces, and still others like pieces from a specific country or region of the world.
