Yes, indeed. Many beauties, lots of inspiration (my mugs all tend to
look alike -- time to move on).

I noticed something: out of 180 cups, 31, if I counted correctly,
were marked "sold". Perhaps more were sold later, I don't know.

All three of John Glick's entries sold. I recognized his name; they
were priced a bit lower than the average in the show, but they were
smaller too.

But 31 seems a small number. Is that par for the course for such
exhibitions? Is name recognition a factor? Was the pricing "right"?

What do you think? Or know?

The show only opened 2 Dec. So 31 sold on the first or 2nd day. The show
goes to 6 Jan. 2007.
