Business Owner - Looking for a supplier for a customized jar

[Donna Fletcher]

I am looking for a vase/jar of a specific shape that I would like to offer in my store, I would need a number of samples of the vase and it would need to be customized as required by the client, I need the vase in 3 different sizes.  This would be an ongoing business for me so supply would be as required. 

If you are an artisan, please reach out to me to discuss.

Hi, Donna,

Your project idea seems to put all the Research and Design expense and effort onto the craftsperson. Unless these will be able to command a high price with some guarantee of orders, I don’t imagine experienced potters would take you up on the offer. 
If you need standardized sizes and styles that can be personalized, you are asking for some kind of small-batch manufacturing, which would require serious up-front money. 
How serious are you?

Rae

ps, are these funeral urns?

In addition to the issues raised by @Rae Reich, are you looking for craftsperson to reproduce a design that is already being made by someone else? If you are in the US, you might run into copyright issues.

@Donna Fletcher I will dm you. I’m in Calgary, but I can maybe help you ask the right questions in the right places. If you’re looking for a basic form and not another design replicated, there are people who do such things.
