Dear Kat,
If you are seriously selling these pots (not reduced and marked as
"seconds") try making a large sign saying "my unique new pinhole glaze" and
make a habit of showing people in detail how wonderful it is...
But remember, you can kid some of the people some of the time,
but you cannot kid all of them all of the time.
