A tall, column-like vessel with a torn, folded-over rim. A pale grey lichen-like crust webs across the upper wall, thinning to reveal dark, rust-toned clay below, and a small pale lump sits embedded near the base. The surface stays rough and mottled all the way down.
What is the pale grey webbing on the upper wall? It photographs like a crust of pale plates flaking over a darker, rust-tinged body — described only by its lichen-like appearance, with no mineral, glaze or firing claimed. Piece 1847 of 10,000, listed at $18.47.
