Jonathan,
Your advice to your friend was right on the mark. Not only should the
defective pieces be returned for either credit or new merchandise, but the
potter should be made aware that his/her processes have a flaw. It's a
valuable piece of information for the potter to have. I would go so far as
to say that your friend would be doing the potter a service by bringing it
to the potter's attention. You may be a novice in clay, but your instincts
in how to deal with your customers are right on.
Best,
