hmm I would find a different venue to sell your work. I remember buying a mug at Blue Water Pottery I believe in Key Largo, I'm sure I paid $25. Many of the potters up here start their mugs at $20 and go as high as $40. It just depends. It takes me about 1 minute to throw a mug and another 2-3 minutes per pulled handle. I'm not an amazing potter but I do look for shortcuts and time savers. It works for me.

Mugs are my least favorite items to make because of the amount of time to make them and the low price we can get for them here.

Wow! You would be lucky to get $10 for the big one here in Florida. Being in a "retiree" state = sun-money which is notoriously low. How is your product sold: on-line, gallery, store, ??
