Dusty mauve-tan handbuilt cup with vertical smear ridges running down from a jagged torn rim, piece 1670 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

The palest piece of the red run: a dusty mauve-tan cup with vertical smear ridges running down from its jagged, torn rim to a bulged foot. The rim close-up shows the fine sandy grain of the wall. That dusty hue is the body’s own color, worn all over.

What are the vertical lines? Strokes left in the wall — smears running rim to foot, the hand’s path recorded in the surface. Piece 1,670 of 10,000, listed at $16.70.
