Piece 1726 stands tall and narrow, its walls climbing to a torn, uneven rim. The surface is bare, unglazed clay, coarse and craggy — a rock-like face of ridges, facets, and shallow hollows rather than a smooth wall. Pale grog-like specks surface across the dark, near-black body, catching the light against a warm brown-black ground. The uneven walls and ragged rim read as hand-forming; no throwing rings or turned foot ring suggest the wheel.
What gives Piece 1726 its rock-like face? The dark clay is left bare and unglazed, its coarse, pitted surface reading more like weathered stone than a thrown pot. Piece 1726 of 10,000, listed at $17.26.
