Deep red handbuilt cup with a scalloped pointed torn crown, lumpy pocked walls, and a bulged band at the foot, piece 1669 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

A deeper-red cup whose crown scallops into torn points, over lumpy, pocked walls and a bulged band at the foot. Handbuilt and photographed on the workshop table, the same four dark cups keeping watch from the windowsill.

What shaped the crown? Tearing, not trimming — the rim keeps every peak and dip the clay made. Piece 1,669 of 10,000, listed at $16.69.
