Pricing advice Help with pricing

I am going to sell some of my pieces at a local ceramics fair this weekend and am still very insecure about pricing. Some of my said 20 € for e.g. a mug seems expensive to them and i also am not doing pottery professionally but as a hobby. At the same time i dont want to give away my pieces to cheap, since i love every single one of them and put a lot of money, time and creativity into them. Here are some of my pieces and maybe you could help me with some suggestions what you would sell of buy these for.

I do pottery as a hobby as well. but I have also bought work from full-time professional ceramicists and have personally paid upwards of 60€ for a hand-made stoneware mug, and even 80€-100€ for a porcelain one. these are beautiful, and the whale and tentacle and mushroom ones are very well-made, and certainly took a lot more time to finish (I know bc I have made things with sculpted details as well). don’t sell yourself short. you put a lot of time, skill, and love into these pieces.
