> Price comparison of pottery suppliers: printed prices from 3 suppliers own product pages, expressed per kilogram of clay, with the free-delivery threshold and the bodies and glazes each one stocks, quoted verbatim and dated. Health and safety facts about silica-bearing materials are stated on every page that describes handling them.

## Key facts

- The median printed price of clay across 3 suppliers with verified prices is £1.03 per kilogram ex VAT (as of 2026-09-09).
- Every price is quoted verbatim from the supplier's own product page, with the date it was read and the bag size it was converted from.
- Dry clay, glaze materials and grog contain respirable crystalline silica; every page describing mixing or handling states the dust control rather than assuming it.
- No glaze is described as food safe on this site except by quoting the manufacturer's own data sheet for a stated firing schedule.

- Methodology: Every rendered figure is a price the supplier publishes on its own product page, re-fetched and matched verbatim (the quote and its retrieval date travel with the cell), then hash-pinned; a supplier whose page could not be read, or which prints no bag price at all, is listed with that fact and never an estimate. Prices are per KILOGRAM and EX VAT, converted from the bag size the page itself states (12.5 kg is the standard UK bag and is the unit compared here) because these suppliers print four different units for the same product and a table mixing them would compare nothing. Delivery is excluded from the price and shown separately, which matters more on this shelf than on most: clay is heavy enough that carriage regularly exceeds the price of the bag.
