Surely you, as an artist, have noticed that when you make a deal with a gallery they're going to take at least 50% of what they sell your item for. As to how to prevent him from making a mold of your items, I have no clue. A letter or contract forbidding him from doing this would be probably be worth nothing. Of course, if he bargins you down to a rock-bottom price, it might be cheaper for him to buy all the subsequent items from you as opposed to making them himself.
