Maine Potters Market

This is the kind of unique, local shops one hopes of finding when exploring a place like Old Portland. Usually you just get the same old tourist traps selling the same t-shirts, mugs and tchotchkes you find anywhere else. The pottery store across the street has mass-produced stuff that they probably sell at every major tourist destination. This place is basically a tiny pottery museum that sells the displayed artwork. Items are unique and of divergent artistic styles. Most didnt appeal to me but I saw a rustic clay pot I had to have. You’ll probably find something here too.

Nice pottery store with a large variety of pottery from a number of local artists. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful pottery by local artists and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to get my pieces home and use them! They also offer shippingfor a price if you don't have a good way to get it home. If you appreciate good quality, local, hand made art, definitely stop here!

Beautiful pottery by local artists! Three of us went into the store while the two employees were having a detailed conversation, we were never greeted and in fact had to ask if we could enter. The convo continued, no one ever left the counter to see if we needed/wanted help, or tell us about the local artists being displayed. The only thing that was ever said to me was “you can’t stand there”. The pottery was lovely and a nice variety of items. We spent nearly $300 at the store, hoping to support the artists. I’m thrilled with my purchases, but sad the people working in the store weren’t doing their job repressing these artists.

Bought a great piece here, nice salt glazed mug that keeps coffee hot. Reasonably priced pottery and beautiful, quality work. Will definitely stop in again next time we're in Portland.

As a potter I really enjoyed the diversity of artists here. They did stick mostly to functional pottery, but they did this well!

A nice collection of potter's working in maine, as well as some artists working on other mediums. Definitely stop by

Beautiful pottery - great variety, great cr aftmanship
