Due to the recent upcharge for shipping, you may see that reflected in my own shipping charges. Thank you for understanding.
 Breakdown and pitting on top of the mold, rough and pitting, please see pictures. Feels solid to me.

  • General Information on my mold inventory     
  • I seek to rescue molds from estates and closed businesses. Sometimes they are from a person who thought they would go into the mold business after purchasing an estate.      
  •  I do the dirty work! Sometimes I I get them but from a nice clean home but sometimes I go through some of the worst stored molds. Fighting spiders, mice, and occasionally water damage to find the ones that are still good.  
  • They will all be soiled to some degree (some worse than others), and marked on the outside, and some may have a chip or two that doesn't interfere with the molds. 
  • Pottery is not my craft and I do not want to harm the molds therefore my cleaning will be minimal.
  • There will be molds of all sorts of shapes and sizes.  
  • Although all my molds contain the above statements, should there be any deviation on condition, it will be reflected.
  • Shipping: I charge flat rate so that means items ship for the cheapest way I can find EXCEPT Fedex Ground Economy, I haven't had much luck with them. Most of the time my shipping rate is lower than what it actually takes to ship, I ballpark it and hope to just think of it as an added bonus for my customers. However, it is April of 2026 and USPS is adding a surcharge. I will try to hold the line but we shall see how it goes
