I was showing my work at a small-town festival yesterday, and a
gentleman approached me about making some of these butter dishes as a
special order. Anyone care to share how much you would charge for
these?

My wife used to make butter keepers and she started out charging $20. for
them. She got to hate doing them so she added $2.00 to the price every
year. She finally stopped making them when the price got to $30. and the
demand did not fall off at all. We still have customers coming in for them.
