I would like to second Judith Enright's WOW! There's something so
satisfying about seeing a good pot, and the one on page 51 in this month's
CM is a beauty! Classic form, and that Rhodes 32 tweaked to perfection.
(I'm matte green with envy.)

Mel...
Congratulations on your CM article and your work is certainly ART.
Having photos of your work and your writtings published in Ceramics Monthly
is without a doubt a tremendous achievement in the career of any potter.
Please note that I did not call your work or anyone else's work "tupper".
(reread my post). I just don't see how any potter can establish the retail
price of a pot soley on its physical size. I would bet that you also take
other factors into consideration prior to setting the pots retail value.
Opinions are opinions and everyone has them. ...Marshall

Hello all -
Okay, I can't keep silent any longer. I have read and digested all of the
opinions (so far) on this "pricing by the inch" issue. And while I am no
slavish devotee of all of Mr. Jacobson's opinions, I believe his pricing by
the inch plan makes perfect economic and artistic sense. From what I
understand from his posts and seeing his work in CM, Mr. Jacobson
produces lovely functional work that all has a definite style to it - in other
words, a cohesive body of work. For work like that, pricing by the inch
makes sense. You shouldn't price your "favorits" higher than your red
headed stepchildren. Now, for the record, I also agree with the sentiment
that many big pots are junk and many small pots are "jewells". But that's
not the point - of course there is "good" and "bad" art out there . When
an artist produces one kind of work ( and I do not mean that as an insult
at all), big pots or sculptures should cost more than small pots or
scultpures.

morning. I love the sound of sleet.

Well... If you are going to price by the inch, it makes as
much sense to price by the pound because with a good spring scale, it is
easier to do. ;^)
I don't know about you but, even though I don't have a lot of
money, I'll pay a pretty penny for a beautiful pot and not a damn cent for
an ugly one. :^) I believe there is room for aesthetic choice in pricing.
This helps people refine their choice if _you_ have an eye for what is good.
A big part of our work is to educate our community. Pricing can help do
this.
