First, you can't get your skill to 300. Not possible. Highest is
250 with a geerlok that will get you to 252. I haven't checked them
all out, but have been told that Crucible of Escape can be made for
about 10plat each after you've done the farming.

Max in any tradeskill is 250 natural, 252 with mod (ie trophy), things with
like 300 triv, have a higher fail rate.

Look at eqtraders.com it should explain it better.

casserole dishes are a good way to get it up high, but i dont thik that goes
as far as 250.

Others have said it, I'll reiterate. You can only take a tradeskill up
to 250 maximum, period, end of story. You can modify it up to 252. You
can get AAs that will reduce your failure rate on combines. You can get
AAs that will allow you to salvage components sometimes on failed
combines.

All that being said, there is no easy cheap way to raise pottery at the
high end, depending on what you mean by cheap. Compared to some of the
other tradeskills, pottery is cheap up to 250. I made a mix of items,
opal encrusted steins until trivial, then star ruby encrusted steins.
The opal ones, I junked. The star ruby ones, I transferred to my vendor
mule, and sold them at a small loss usually.

If you don't mind farming a lot, you can do crucible of escape. There
are likely some other recipes you can try, been a while now since I've
looked.

I looked back at my old stuff, and, at the time, the easiest, not
cheapest, route was Opal encrusted steins up to 220, then Star Ruby
encrusted steins to 250. All of the components can be purchased off
vendors except for the magic clay which requires a low level enchanter to
make.
