How pricing starts

Pricing starts with fit.

At dropoff, staff estimates shelf space, confirms before loading, then moves accepted pieces into padded bread crates.

Example: small batch

3 plates, 2 mugs, 1 small bowl.

Usually one half shelf when the pieces fit one mat footprint.

Example: wide or tall pieces

1 tall vase, 1 wide serving bowl.

Tall work may fire on its side. Two mat footprints may mean two half shelves.
