A small, near-black handbuilt cup with a coarse, granular wall and an uneven rim. Pale frost-like speckle gathers thickly around the mouth and scatters across the dark charcoal body. One of a run of dark cups from the same day, it is photographed on a plywood shelf against a whitewashed studio wall marked with pencil sketches of hummingbirds — a backdrop, not part of the piece.
Is the pale frosting a coating? It reads as a frost-like speckle concentrated at the rim and broken across the dark body — described here by appearance, with its material left unstated. Piece 1797 of 10,000, listed at $17.97.
