Thanks GROG, hang10Tiki and Wendy.

Thanks for the various comments Hale Tiki.
I know what you're getting at with having someone there sell them for me but i'm not sure it would work. With the money saved sending several mugs over at once, that difference would just be added back onto the postage cost having to resend it from there, so it would probably work out the same as having me just send it direct. Plus any money the seller would make of the mug would just increase the price so it's probably more convenient to order one directly from me.

Speaking of which, i forgot to mention in my last post that i'm making these mugs to order and if anyone is interested, please send me a PM to discuss the details. Your name can be carved into the back of it if you'd prefer.
I've had a few people show interest and order a Bob 'O' Nut from me already since my original post, so i've been busy pouring them to get the kiln filled. Here's a pic fresh from the kiln after their bisque fire.

Also, my custom super-carved Tiki Bob from Wendy arrived. Here he is next to Bob 'O' Nut.

And finally, when i stayed with Wendy on my trip to the U.S. in August she gave me a couple of bisqued pieces which i could glaze how i chose. This is the first piece, a Bumatay pendant in Rockingham Brown. It took me ages but i finally decided on what colour i'm going to glaze the other piece (not a pendant, something different) of which i'll post pictures of when it's done. Hopefully it'll look good in the colour i've chosen. Thanks Wendy, you're an angel.
