For a number of years this Art Page has been on the web. In fact it was up before we even
knew how to use a computer or owned one. There always has been an attempt to attract customers, though pricing has always
been a big problem. The Marlene figure, as with many others, took some three months to finally complete with molds and
the first glazed piece but the molds themselves meant that these were a production item with a possible edition number.
No edition was ever decided upon and figures were sold locally and otherwise with no regard for this convention.
Consequently the pricing has always been up in the air. This has been complicated with the loss of interest in decorative
items otherwise known as knick-knacks or ceramics and the further problem of these things being imported for very low prices.
The actual number that has been sold is small indeed but the artist refuses to limit his output in any way, especially one
that is only commercially generated, so the problem continues.
Prices are negotiated by contact alone and are high in comparison to mass produced items but really only reflect
the cost of such minimal production.
Call, write or email and we will be as reasonable as possible, but remember that the reproduction of any piece
may take as much as two months.
