Wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics: mugs, bowls, vases, planters, and sculptural pieces.
Browse Ceramics & Pottery listings →Mass-produced ceramics & pottery dominate marketplace search results on Etsy, Amazon Handmade, and similar platforms. Dropshippers import factory goods from Temu and AliExpress, list them as "handmade," and undercut real artisans on price.
On Hand & Kin, every piece of ceramics & pottery comes from a verified maker. We check government ID, workshop photos, and a short intro video before a seller can publish their first listing. Our anti-slop pipeline screens every listing image against known dropship catalogs using CLIP embeddings — flagged items go to a moderation queue, never directly to buyers.
Makers in ceramics & pottery typically work with:
| Fee type | Hand & Kin | Etsy |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction fee | 5% | 6.5% |
| Listing fee | $0.00 | $0.20 / listing |
| Payment processing | Stripe at cost (~2.9% + $0.30) | 3% + $0.25 (built-in) |
| Offsite Ads | None — ever | 12–15% on attributed sales (mandatory for $10K+ shops) |
| Effective rate on a $50 sale | ~7.9% ($3.95) | ~9.5–24.5% ($4.75–$12.25) |
Fee math: Hand & Kin = 5% + Stripe (~2.9% + $0.30). Etsy = 6.5% transaction + 3% + $0.25 processing + $0.20 listing; Offsite Ads add 12–15% on attributed sales for shops over $10K/year.
Every seller goes through a verification process: government ID, workshop photos, and an intro video, all human-reviewed before their first listing goes live. Every listing image is screened against known dropship catalogs using AI-powered image matching. Items that get flagged go to a moderation queue — they're never auto-published.
