I really liked the one that you did and you should be confident enough to sell with nice work like that. What I did was add up all of the components, add the commission price that the Gallery takes and decide on a reasonable amount to make on each bowl. Count all of your petrol costs as well. I don't believe you can charge the proper labour costs as it would make the price prohibitive. However, I put a reasonable price and am quite happy with how they were received. Next year I will add a lid to a few of them but that would make them more expensive. I will make some lampshades as well.
