[QUOTE="Desertau, post: 9853851, member: 86775"]There are a couple things to consider, but first I think it is attractive the glaze is powerful and the clay body has a warm rich texture. It looks fired to cone 10 around 2400*f. How does it feel in your hands, is it heavy or thinly thrown and lite? You will see on ceramic forums discussions about selling work with flaws, it is difficult to tell from the pictures but the foot ring looks as if a piece is missing from where it adhered to the shelf from glaze running during the firing. Most studio potters refrain selling seconds because it is a reflection on their work. The sharp 90* angle could have been ground to clean this up but better to refine the shape while the piece is green (still moist unfired clay). this is a forum popular with ceramic artists of all skill levels you might have some luck asking your question there, this person may even be a member.
