A handbuilt vessel with dented, dimpled walls and a torn rim, photographing brown-toned with a grayish interior, its surface otherwise bare clay. Patches of coarse, crumbly granules crust the shoulder and sides — the store’s title calls the material Lake Erie shale.
Why does a “black clay” piece look brown? The clay body is black — the maker confirms it — but in this photo the fired surface reads warm brown. Piece 1,741 of 10,000, listed at $17.41.
