Selling pottery in Moncton
Moncton is the transport and distribution hub of the region and one of the country’s few genuinely bilingual cities, sitting on a river with a tidal bore that reverses its flow twice a day. It has grown steadily while much of the region has not.
Distribution and call-centre work brings people in on contracts, and the city’s growth means households are being set up here more often than they are being cleared — which makes it a better place to sell than the regional average.
On white goods, ask to see a full cycle run rather than just a power-on. Appliances change hands frequently in this city and ten minutes settles most questions for good.
Moncton, in New Brunswick, has around 80,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Saint John, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Moncton

What pottery is worth
What lifts the price
- Studio pieces with identifiable potter’s marks
- Recognised factories and discontinued ranges
What pulls it down
- Chips on rims and foot rings
- Common factory ware in large supply
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the base mark clearly
- Tap the piece gently and listen for a dull ring
Getting it ready
- Tap the rim gently with a fingernail. A clear ring means sound; a dull thud usually means a crack, even an invisible one.
- Check the rim and foot under a strong light for hairlines, chips and restoration, which often fluoresces differently under UV.
Photograph
- The piece whole, on a plain background, in even light
- The rim and foot all the way round
Put in the description
- Maker and pattern name if known, with the base mark photographed
- Whether dishwasher and microwave safe, for tableware
Post double boxed with each piece individually wrapped and no piece touching another. Ceramics are the most commonly broken thing in the post, and single-boxing is why.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
