Does the size of a bowl determine its worth?

Along with being a pastor I also do some wood turning. A wonderful variety of items may be formed on a lathe; however, let's consider bowls for a few minutes. Hypothetically, let's place two bowls before us, which I, of course, turned. One is about 6 ½ inches across while the other is 16 inches. Now for the really hard part. Today I am not going to give you one of these bowls, rather you are interested in purchasing one from me, thus I have to decide what I will charge you. Many factors play a role in arriving at a price, including, what type of wood they are made of, is there anything special about the figure of the wood, does the shape add to the value or not, is it finished well, how does it feels when you pick it up, etc., and of course, its size. Do you expect to pay the same price for the smaller bowl as you would for the larger one? Many bowls are priced by the inch, with credit being given, plus or minus, for other features. Others however, argue the value of the bowl as an item turned by a particular turner ought to be the same regardless of the size. Thus when you inquire as to why both bowls cost $300, I respond with the following: “Each of my bowls are a labor of love and skill. That skill has been developed over years. The knowledge of what is a good and pleasing bowl shape has been refined over years. Now each bowl that I turn reflects not just the time that it took to turn and finish it, but years of learning about bowls, and above all they reflect something about me. With each piece of wood I form the best bowl that I can. Though some bowls have darker color than others, some bowls are taller while others are flatter, and yes, others are larger, but each one is a bowl made my ME.”

Does God place value according to size? Weight? Color? Or shape? Is a tree of more value than a spider or a fish or a man?

Mediate on the following: ESV Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

ESV Matthew 12:12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

And again Christ's words in the following passage: (Mar 8:35-38 ESV) "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.""

Yes, it is clear, Man is special. His soul is of great value. Yet is the soul of each human of equal value? When does it start to have this value? Is its value in anyway connected with the size, color and configuration of the physical vessel in which it dwells?

We humans tend to look at the outward shape/appearance of the vessel. Assessments of value are made according to our perceptions. God, on the other hand, sees the full value of the soul, something that no man can fully grasp, at least during this life.

I believe God looks at each of us, valuing the soul – saying to each, “I have made you, formed you, in my likeness. I don't value you by the inch or pound, but by what I put into you.”

Therefore, how should we think of ourselves? Of others? And will I sell my bowls by the inch or by their value as a reflection of the work of one made in the likeness of his Creator?

My bowls? I hope to continue to sell my bowls to the average person, not just to collectors!
