I have two, featuring Polly's Tea Rooms and the old Smithy in Marlborough UK, probably about 6" I use at the bedside for tea cups. I think they were about $15.00 each about 30 years ago. I had one of similar size of glazed peppers from the US SW I used for a spoon holder in the kitchen, about $12.00 I think.
Showing the Polly's one as a less labor intensive option, probably like many coffee mugs today, a decal slip which are baked I think?
I'd like to think I'd support local artists in any craft, but in truth most of us think "I can make that cheaper" so only want to pay for materials worth, not someone's time/skills. Let alone booth rent and 8 hours for someone to stand there and sell.
