Question
We have boxes of greenware & bisque from my mother-in-law's estate.  How long does it keep and what would you recommend doing with it?  I have called different shops here in Montana and no one is interested.  Thanks, in advance.

Answer
Hi Vickie, trash it. Old moulds and bisque ware are plentifull. No one wants it. How does the buyer know the maturation temp of the bisque ware, what clay body was it made of, what glazes fit the body without testing?

It's not worth anything, see if you can give it away for free to save having to pay to have it trashed.
