A closed, rock-like handbuilt vessel with lumpy, uneven walls and no neck or handles, tapering to a small torn mouth at the crown. The dark body carries a scattered pale frost-like speckle and chalky light patches across a knobbly, weathered surface. The first photo lays it on its side on a pale floor; the second stands it upright in the studio; the third holds it in one hand, where the same surface reads a warmer brown under the workshop light.
Is the dark opening at the top a mouth or a hole bored through the wall? It reads as the vessel’s own small torn mouth at the crown, with the form staying closed below it. Piece 1790 of 10,000, listed at $17.90.
