Fattwins 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 My mom makes this patio stones now. Over the last few years she has gotten pretty good at them. What value do you belive that they have? figure that one costs 2000 yen just in glass and cemment. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 put it next to something else for comparison Link to post Share on other sites
snosurf 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'd value it anywhere between 5000-8000 Yen. That seems reasonable. I like it, dragons are cool. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 that might seem fair, but in reality she could sell them for 8000-15,000 without anyone really batting and eye lash. if you sell it as art, rather than craft, you can always sell for more. but that will also limit the market.

me jane 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I like it too. I agree with Daver, I would think she'd be able to get 10 to 15 thou for it. Had a quick look on ebay & the like but didn't see anything similar. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 but realistically who would want dragons on their patio? why not put flowers on it or something? Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Still trying to figure out the size. 15" diameter? It's really beautiful and very well made by the looks of it. I think you could sell anywhere between those prices mentioned and even above, if she can get in a good gallery and sell it as art rather than craft. (don't ask me how to do that here I guess it depends on where and how it's sold. Easily sold for 2000 yen, but should definitely be sold for more than that. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Looks good that. How heavy are they? Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 To clarify: I think the style is really nice but if you want to sell these then I'd make the subject more commercial. Link to post Share on other sites

How about, you know, some dragons and some flowers? I'd go for the dragon myself, and some flowers maybe, but not just flowers. You could probably get away with 15,000 yen, but it depends how many you want to sell. For comparison, at the weekend I saw some limestone tiles imported from Bali, about 15 cm2 with carved relief flowers on them selling for 3,500 yen. To do anything with them, you would need to buy at least three. Nice work Mum! Link to post Share on other sites
