A small, open handbuilt cup with thick, uneven walls and a torn, ragged rim — a single pinched lip pulls up at one point. The rough, rocky body is scattered with pale frost-like speckle and chalky patches, reading grey-brown from overhead and a warmer red-brown from the side. The overhead photo shows the open mouth, a close-up frames the sandy wall texture, and the third photo stands it on a wooden table.
Why does the surface look so much like stone? The wall is heavily grit-textured and matte, with pale speckle broken across it, giving the small cup the look of a weathered rock. Piece 1791 of 10,000, listed at $17.91.
