Dark hand-built cup with a torn rim and a pale grey crazed crust, holding dried grasses on a wooden board — piece 1782 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

A cup built by hand, with a torn, uneven rim and gently waisted sides. A pale grey crazed crust flakes and webs across the dark body, and beneath it runs a faint grid of impressed square cells, as if a mesh or coarse cloth had been pressed into the clay. In its main photo the cup holds a spray of dried grasses on a weathered board, with a handwritten note on the wall behind.

What made the grid pattern on Piece 1782? A regular lattice of small squares is pressed into the surface, but whether it came from a textile, a net, or a tool is not something the photos confirm. Piece 1782 of 10,000, listed at $17.82.
