摘要：The studywas conducted in peri-urban area of Ilorin Township to describe the socio-economic characteristics of pottery households, determine its profitability as a means of generating income, and reduce poverty in the study area.Primary data were generated through field surveys from a total of randomly selected 80 pottery household heads from 3 selected settlements. The main tools of analysis include descriptive statistics, gross marginand ordinary least square regression models. Majority of the pooled potters (82.5%) had subsidiary occupations with average yearly off-farm income of .15, 000 ($93.8) ranging from .8,500.00 ($53.1) to .38,000.80 ($237.5) per year.The average gross margin per pottery household per month .11,000 ($68.8) showedthat the enterprise is profitable. The coefficients of potter's experience and cost of family labour carried a priorisigns and the postulated explanatory variables explained about 56.8% in the variations of net income of pottery households. It is suggested that the pottery households should be given adequate training using community based informal education, to enable them imbibe mechanizedpottery techniques and acquired materials inputs that will increasenot only the profitability of the enterprise but also make efficient useofresources.
