First of the boulders — the closed, rock-like vessels that define the 1848–1899 run. Piece 1852 is handbuilt into a stone-shaped body with a small mouth, its dark surface traced over with pale chalky veining like mineral seams through rock.
Is it a sculpture or a vessel? Both readings fit the photo: a small mouth opens at the top, and everything else says boulder. Piece 1852 of 10,000, listed at $18.52.
