Hi Marshall,

You asked if hand thrown/built pieces are worth more than molded or ram
pressed.
My vote is that, if the potter controls the whole process-- including
building or throwing the original and making his or her own mold-- then
the resulting produce is worth more than if the piece were produced
from a store-bought mold.
