Since you are wondering if anyone would buy your work, have you considered trying to sell your turnings?
It's not hard to do. Find and enter a local art/craft show put on as a fund-raiser by a church or other local organization. It may cost you $30--$50 to enter the show and rent a table, but you now have the benefit of their space, advertising, etc. You'll have the opportunity to talk with people who are looking to buy, and who will be very free in their advice about why they are, or are not, buying your work.
This approach will not got you rich, but it will move turnings out of your shop and get you feedback about what people are looking for and what they like... if that sort of thing is important to you.
I've been doing this for 13 years, starting 3 months after I got my first lathe. I turn mostly for myself, but also have an array of things I turn only for the few shows I do each year. Production turning is a great way to develop confidence, speed, discipline and technique... all of which come in very handy when turning that once-in-a-lifetime object.
