I hate to break it to you, but wages have become less and less fair. The person who created these plates may have been able to support a family on a single income.

They are increasingly expensive because the people at the top are demanding a higher and higher proportion of the income.

    I'm well aware. And it's also because it takes a lot to live now. A friend of mine is a farmer and does ceramics. Her stuff is expensive, and beautifully made. Real craft takes time and time is labor.
