I am very interested in this statement!
Are you getting this price for a tea bowl you sell through your own website?
E-bay, or other auction?
Or other?
Was this a one-time fluke, or your normal internet price?
I have always believed the only people visiting pottery websites are other
potters.
I am a production potter who is branching off and producing some
one-of-a-kind "fine art type" pieces and have no market for them at present.
Just cannot mix them into my booth at the normal art fair. Also I cannot make
enough of them to fill an art fair booth, or approach a gallery ( who will
want a 40-60% commission!) Also, I am fairly certain that the customer for
them is not attending art & craft fairs.
