Moving Sale – Please get these off my hands! ;)
Filed Under : 
Aug.20,2012Akim and I are moving, and wish to offload as much as possible of things that we still want but do not necessarily need. Alas, my pottery and soaps fall into that category.
Pottery:
Since the majority of pottery requests that have come in have mentioned pieces that were specifically made for others and have been delivered already, I thought I ought to clarify which pieces/sets still remain. The sets may be bought as individual pieces.
Black Plate, $15 $12. Though it’s hard to tell in this lighting, there’s a faint swirl of what looks like a sort of celestial blue color, a bit sparkly, that looks vaguely like an Oort cloud or some sort of nebula.
Black Plate, edge view. As you can see, I make stew plates more often than flat plates. Some “plate” foods are juicier than intended, and I like to make sure that the tabletop and your lap will remain safe.
Cup Trio, $10/cup $8/cup. Left: small brown cup. Center: cobalt blue goblet. Right: Cream-nutmeg and orange-brown cup.
Cup trio, different view. This perspective shows the shape of the goblet.
Cup Trio, a third view. These aren’t a set, so they may be bought as individual objects.
Lace Plate, $20 $17 view of texture. This is not part of a set, and may be bought as an individual piece.
Lace Plate, edge view.
Oil Lamp, $11 $7. This will hold about 2 teaspoons of water and about 2.5 to 3-ish tablespoons of oil, which should burn for a couple of hours. The water will keep the oil from burning down to nothing and causing the lamp to shatter.
Oil Lamp, 2nd view. If you use a modern floating wick, simply place it in the larger opening. When using a medieval wick, put it into the larger opening, but place a plate beneath the lamp to catch the oil as it wicks upward and dribbles downward.
Oil Lamp, view 3. It’s easier to see the relative sizes of the openings in this view. The oil lamp was formed on a pottery wheel, perfectly round, then manipulated by hand into its current shape.
Oil Lamp, Cup Trio, and Lace Plate. These pieces do not comprise a set, so they may be claimed as individual items. However, if you would like to purchase the whole lot, it will be $1 off per item ($20 $17 for the plate, $10/cup $8/cup, $11 $7 for the lamp is $61 $48, minus $1 per item for 5 items, total of $56 $43).

Blue-Brown Bowl, $12 $10. Holds about 12 fluid ounces.
Blue-Brown Bowl, view 2. I’m fond of the way the blue overglaze reacted with the reddish-brown underglaze, making those lovely patterns.

Brown-Green Colander, $20 $18. What, you don’t see the green? Keep looking.
Brown-Green Colander. Now you can see the green. Surprise!
Not pictured: 3 ceramic business card holders, $3 each. They’re cute, but I’m tired of having to upload images. I just want to pack boxes for the big move.
Soaps:
Castile Soap. Though some soap manufacturers insist that their soaps are Castile because they’re made with only vegetable-sourced soaps, true Castile soap is made from only one kind of oil: olive. This is true Castile soap. It will be fully cured and ready to use on 1 September 2012. May be bought by the gram/kilogram, at $12/kilogram. I have roughly 2kg of this batch (about 4 pounds). If you take the entire batch that I have, I’ll only charge $10/kilo.
Soybean Oil Soap. This batch will be cured and usable on 1 October 2012. May be bought by the gram/kilogram at $8/kilogram. I have roughly 4.5kg of this batch. If you take the entire batch that I have, I’ll only charge $7/kilo.
Soap made from oils of soybean, castor, and coconut. The little ‘fluffy’ looking ones on the side are from the same batch, but my wooden mold wasn’t big enough to hold it all, so I put the overflow into little plastic molds. May be bought by the gram/kilogram at $10/kilo. I have roughly 2kg of this batch. If you take the entire batch that I have, I’ll only charge $8/kilo.
Soap made from oils of soybean and coconut. May be bought by the gram/kilogram at $8/kilo. I have roughly 4kg of this batch. (I originally mispriced the batch. It should be $9.50/kilo, but I’m not going to change the price. Consider this to be my moving sale price.)
