My mother makes her own ceramic jewelry. She showed some to a local shop, and they said they’d put her works on display and sell them for her. They said 50-50 is a typical profit split for artist/shop, but they offered her 60-40 (60% for my mom). Is that a good deal?

Traditionally, if a shop bought the jewelry outright, 50/50 was standard. If it was consigned (not paid for until sold), 60% to the artist was standard. Some shops now want 50/50 even for consignment so then it depends on how badly your mother wants to sell and how successful she thinks the shop will be. She could do a trial with whatever the shop wants and then re-negotiate after she sees what kind of sales she can expect. If it doesn’t sell well at that shop, try another.
