Dark handbuilt ceramic vessel with silvery iridescence and copper-toned patches across its surface, piece 1840 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

The strongest luster in the whole dark run: silvery iridescence washes this handbuilt vessel, broken by patches that flash copper, and it holds on every side in all four photos — the shine follows the clay’s texture rather than floating above it. The store’s own tags call it black clay and a vase. The base carries the number 1840, incised.

Does the shine really cover the whole piece? In every shot, yes — silvery on the broad faces, copper in patches, always tracking the surface texture, all of it left by the salt firing. Piece 1840 of 10,000, listed at $18.40.
