Onta is a small village of potters in Japan, who produce distinctive etched ceramics entirely by hand (YT). An episode from Ceramic Treasures of Japan, an NHK World series of 15 minute documentaries, which looks at local ceramic arts in various parts of Japan. Episodes are scattered across youtube; links to 9 episodes are inside.
Here are the ones I have found:

There are places with "treasure hunting" programs where you can pay a really reasonable fee to get as much pottery as you can fit into a basket. This has been at the top of my travel to-do list for a long time.
