Blanket Creek Pottery was established as a wholesale business and i promote the stores i work with. I do not sell directly to retail customers of galleries that have ordered within the last 1-2 years. Anyone who purchases this pottery can contact me via this site, but if they are interested in adding to a collection i refer them back to the store where they made the initial purchase. If they are a new customer who found this pottery through another source i refer them to the nearest retail outlet in their area. Only if they do not live near one of the stores i am currently working with will i sell directly to them - and in these cases i do not discount the prices on this site so as to avoid undercutting my main customer base. The suggested retail prices on the "gallery" page are calculated estimates of what the items resell for in the stores, based on common pricing methods.
