Brick-red handbuilt pot whose torn crown folds outward in large clay flaps, with deep cracks running down from the notches, piece 1677 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

The wildest crown of the red run: a brick-red pot whose rim tears into large flaps that fold outward like ripped bread crust, deep cracks running down from the crown notches into the sandy, pocked wall. The body swells through shoulder, waist, and a rounded foot. Three photos — two standing portraits and one with a hand beside it.

Is the crown broken? No — torn and folded, and left that way. The flaps and their cracks are recorded exactly as photographed, as the piece’s finish. Piece 1,677 of 10,000, listed at $16.77.
