    Perhaps instead of trying to find a name for the other pieces, just
    be sure that your own originals are clearly defined.  There has
    already been much discussion here about what words are proper and
    legal in what countries to describe your work, but that is not the
    point here.  The few of my pieces that are in the store I work from
    are marked as 'Forrest Design Originals'. Some are one of a kind,
    some are production pieces of my own design that I create the
    originals of and have molds and castings made.  In all cases, I do
    final assembly, modification and finishing work.  As I get the time
    to make more one of a kind pieces, I will be sure to differentiate
    those from my own production pieces as well.  By emphasizing your own
    work, and finding ways to describe it, you are also uplifting your
    own pieces without making the production pieces you sell from other
    sources seem inferior.  After all, you have chosen the pieces to sell
    even if they aren't your own work, and presumably they reflect your
    own feelings toward quality of workmanship.
