I think you have come up with a good reasoning for pricing your pots. I've been approached to sell some of my paintings and a stand. I had no idea what to charge for the items, so for the stand, I basically asked for double the material cost. The buyer was extremely happy with the price, which probably meant I could've asked for more. As for the paintings, I have no idea what to do with that.... I'm not an artist by any stretch of imagination, so I almost feel guilty asking for money for a painting. My thought was maybe I can work out a trade of some sort which could benefit both parties.

Good luck with the pottery,
Paul
