I think we really should have some art cartels, because the things we make are pretty generic.

Items you can make in arts that should be able to have different designs:

Tinderbox
Shovel
Bucket
Vials
Bottles
Glasses
Landscape paintings
Still life paintings
Portrait paintings
Statues
Miniatures

For those things that require a person, or sketches of that person, the suggestion is that there could also be approved designs we can use.

I've always been surprised that we cannot have custom vials, where in games like aetolia, specialized vials sell incredibly well.

Thoughts?

Custom vials should be the pervue of artisans, but the other stuff I agree to, to a degree. I'd love frames for paintings also. (Maybe a new skill for artisans?)

If you removed vials, the chance of an art cartel would be anything cool goes down.

However, I will always support an established trade skill get something they critically need first. Custom vials would be a money maker for artisans.

Why are tinderboxes always sooty, even before they're used? Why can't we have pretty, ornate tinderboxes?

I would love for there to be a trade in small and decorative items, it's the small things in life that count =D

And by the way, if you own a manse you can already make your very own custom paintings! (though that's kinda bypassing the 'system' and I'd still support a proper skill for it)

Small decorative things! Yes, yes, and more yes!

See, look here! Knick-knacks trade skill!

Give it custom vials, candles, all sorts of small, mostly useless things! Spoons, seeing glasses, elaborate lanterns!
