A cup built by hand, with a torn rim and a bare, sandy grit-flecked wall, its dark body shading from a paler sandy band above to a darker zone below and crossed by a dark blue-black line. The lower wall is cut into angular facets. On the base, the number 1789 is painted in pale, almost white pigment; one photo shows the cup held in a hand, and another sets it on a studio table before shelves of other work.
How big is Piece 1789? One photo shows it cradled in a single hand, so it reads as a hand-sized cup — though no measured dimension is given. Piece 1789 of 10,000, listed at $17.89.
