A horizon in a cup: the top third pale and sandy, the rest near-black, the line between them running level like a shoreline at dusk. One photo, one idea, cleanly held. The single band keeps 1868 in prose rather than the registry’s banded term (that one wants alternating stripes — see 1888 and 1890); how the pale zone got there is left unsaid.
Why “dipped horizon”? Because that’s the image: a pale band meeting dark water-line straight, as if the cup were dipped and lifted once. Piece 1868 of 10,000, listed at $18.68.
