A squat, stacked handbuilt vessel in dark chocolate brown, with pewter-silver patches of metallic sheen across its walls and a glossy, translucent amber-olive band pooled along the ledge of its ragged, stepped rim. Pale specks run through the body, and the interior photographs bluish gray. The base photo shows the number 1697 incised into the clay, alongside four round pale patches where the piece stood. The store calls it “Ash-Glazed” — that’s the store’s phrase for the amber band; the pewter-silver sheen is salt-fired, the shine the salt firing left.
What’s the glassy amber ring at the rim? A pooled, glass-like band that catches the light along the rim ledge — visible in the close-ups, unexplained by them. Piece 1,697 of 10,000, listed at $16.97.
