What are some things to look for that can tell how a pot is made ? Hand made vs wheel vs mold. I am just curious, I have a bunch of old pots I need to go through. Thanks !

With mass-produced moulded pots, you can often see a 'ripple' effect in the clay underneath the pot.

Look for the quarter inch or so rough spot where the mold was filled.
