An upright, near-black vessel standing on a dusty bench, its top broken into a jagged, torn rim with a small clay spur jutting out at the left. The charcoal wall carries a rough, fissured crust that cracks and lifts across the body, and a warm tan patch shows through low on one side. It narrows to a small foot at the base.
What makes the surface look so weathered? The wall reads as a dry, cracking crust over a near-black body, with a single warm patch breaking through — all recorded by appearance, with no glaze, clay recipe or firing claimed. Piece 1845 of 10,000, listed at $18.45.
