How do I identify Ken Edwards pottery?

How do I identify Ken Edwards pottery?
To identify Ken Edwards pottery, look at the bottom, where you will usually find maker's markings. Artists working for the maker often hand-paint the Ken Edwards brand name or the initials “KE” on the pieces they produce. A painted animal frequently accompanies the brand signature and identifies the specific artist who produced it. You can find images of all the pieces in the Traditional and Collection series on the official Ken Edwards website; these pictures can be helpful in the identification process. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can also aid you in making an identification. Shop a range of Ken Edwards pottery on 1stDibs.
