fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot.   Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot.  Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully.  Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month.  For ZiSha models\/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well.  Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too.  Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect.  We give a big Thank You all
