Valuable or Not?
Art dealers and people who work in auction houses are among those who decide whether something is valuable or not. When an artist signs a work, it's often considered more valuable because it proves that somebody famous made it.
Look closely at these pots. One has a signature, one has the mark of the person who made it, and one is unsigned.
Which one do you think is most valuable to art dealers?
Do you think the people who made these objects would agree?
