Near-black handbuilt cup with a torn rim and a round hole bored through the front wall, photographed against a studio shelf, piece 1778 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

A near-black handbuilt cup with a torn, uneven rim and a wall flecked with fine pale speckle over the dark body. A single round hole is bored through the front. The second photo moves in tight on that opening: a macro frame where the pale flecks read as fine grit through the near-black clay and the bore passes clean to daylight beyond.

What does the close-up reveal? It shows the bored hole passing all the way through the wall and the fine pale grit scattered through the dark clay around it — texture, not any claimed material. Piece 1778 of 10,000, listed at $17.78.
