If you have piece of Blue Mountain Pottery with gold writing on it, it probably is NOT actually Blue Mountain Pottery, as most of it did not have this. Your piece is probably some other type of souvenir pottery, possibly McMaster.

The simple answer is, yes, blue mountain pottery is "worth money", since there are collectors out there willing to pay to acquire pieces of it. How much depends on the rarity of any given piece, but most of it will not make you rich, least of all off a single piece. The more common pieces may be worth as little as $5 and the rarest have gone on eBay for several hundred dollars (up to $500 or so). It may go up in value, as the company closed down at the end of 2004, but this depends on the collectors continuing to be interested in it, of course.
Traditional blue pottery, particularly the kind produced in places like Jaipur, India, often contains lead in its glazes, which can pose health risks. However, many modern producers have shifted to lead-free glazes to meet safety standards and consumer demand for non-toxic products. It's essential to check for specific labeling or certifications when purchasing blue pottery to ensure it is lead-free. Always prioritize safety when selecting decorative or functional pottery items.

Prices can vary based on factors such as condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. Online auction sites and antique shops may also provide insights into current market values. For a more precise evaluation, consulting a professional appraiser with experience in Blue Mountain Pottery is recommended.
Rare pieces of Blue Mountain Pottery include specific shapes, patterns, and colors that were produced in limited quantities. Notable examples are the earlier pieces from the 1950s, particularly those featuring the "Blue Mountain" glaze and unique designs like the "Canoe" or "Bird" motifs. Collectors often seek out items with factory markings or those that reflect the transitional styles from earlier to later production periods. Additionally, larger decorative items or special commemorative pieces tend to be more sought after and thus rarer.

Applying a blue flame from a Bunsen burner to pottery can potentially cause the pottery to crack or break due to the rapid temperature change. The intense heat from the flame can also cause the pottery to discolor or change in texture. It is important to heat pottery slowly and evenly to avoid these issues.
Most companies such as Blue Mountain Arts are quite willing to share poems if they are asked politely and know the reason why. You can contact them by phone (you would get an answer faster) or email them.
