A rest note in the 1848–1899 run: a handbuilt cup in even matte black, no bands, no flecks, no washes — just the hand-formed wall and its soft irregularity. In a batch full of events, 1863’s single photo is the pause between them.
What is there to see? The form itself: an uneven handbuilt rim, gently swelling wall, and charcoal-black surface that swallows the light. Piece 1863 of 10,000, listed at $18.63.
