The Maker's Mark
A pottery stamp is a simple, durable tool used to press a maker's mark into soft clay. It's typically applied before drying, leaving a clean impression that becomes a permanent part of the finished piece after firing.
Potters use stamps to sign their work, add subtle decorative detail, and create consistency across a body of work - whether that's a small studio run or a full collection.
Leave a clear, permanent signature on every piece - without scratching or carving the clay.
Create consistency across your work, so your pottery is recognisable on shelves, online, and in collectors' hands.
Add subtle detail or texture that complements the form, without overpowering the piece.
A simple process, designed for makers
Select from our pre-designed styles (initials, monograms, maker's marks), or upload your own logo or drawing. We'll review every design to ensure clean lines that stamp well in clay, and we'll suggest adjustments if needed.
Choose a size based on how and where you plan to stamp your work - from subtle base marks to more visible signatures on larger pieces. If you're unsure, we're happy to advise.
Your stamp is precision-machined from solid brass, tested for clean impressions, and delivered to your door within 5–7 business days.
