The Print Is The Reason It Sells
Nobody needs a fourth bowl. They buy this one because of the pears, the small roses, the green inside, the word printed near the rim. The decoration is doing the selling, which means the decoration is also where your quality argument starts. A floral print that sits slightly off center is invisible on a shelf and obvious on a breakfast table.
The Spout Is The Hard Part
A pour lip looks simple and isn't. It has to be formed cleanly, then glazed without pooling in the dip, or the glaze runs and the lip comes out thick on one side. Check three things: that the lip is thin enough to cut the stream, that the glaze stops before the very edge, and that the bowl doesn't drip down the outside when you pour water from it. Do the pour test yourself, with water, on the sample.
Stacking, Weight, And The Wavy Rim
The rim on this bowl is deliberately uneven, which means every piece stacks a little differently. Ask how many the supplier can nest without wedging, because a stack that sticks is a stack that chips. Check the empty weight as well: these bowls get used for batter and sauces, and a bowl that's too light slides across the counter while the customer is whisking with one hand.
Decals And The Dishwasher Question
The print is fired on, or it isn't, and the difference shows up in month three. Ask whether the decoration sits under the glaze or on top of it, then ask for the dishwasher test. Under-glaze lasts. Over-glaze fades at the rim first, exactly where the customer looks. If your buyer is a gift shop rather than a kitchenware store, that may not matter. If it's a kitchenware store, get the answer in writing before you order.
