yes, 24 of those. i am not going to pay $15.00 USD per mug.
$15.00 x 24 == $360.00 USD

i can pick them up for 2.50 to 3.50 GBP per mug in cardiff, wales or maidenhead,
england in the salvation army thrift store or the community thrift
store, next time i am there.

i was attempting to give a person who is into pottery some work at a
reasonable price.

i am always open to learning something new so learning how to make a mug
or even perhaps a tea set would be appropriate.

i do not understand how possibly knowing how the part was manufactured
tells me what the material is that the part is made out of. perhaps you
can explain that to me.
