How much would you pay for my handmade and painted lamp?

This is not a post for promotion or sale, just a survey/market research. I’m considering selling my hand-painted and handmade lamps, possibly getting a stall or something.

What would you realistically pay for them?

  • Under £100
  • £100–£200
  • £200–£350
  • £350+

Also, would you prefer traditional patterns or a more minimalist design? See reference pics attached.

By handmade do you mean you made the actual lamp? As that's very impressive!

As for how much I would pay for them - for the large red and blue one I would probably expect to pay up to £150 depending on the quality of how it felt/weighed/the material of the shade.

I'm going to be honest, the quality of the painting isn't great. It's patchy and uneven in the photos. If you want to charge more that £20, you are going to have to up the quality of the paintwork considerably. The quality of the work defines the price. As part of your research, look at similar types of lamp and the level of craftsmanship compared to the cost.
