One band, worn like a crown: a crumbly cream ring circles the upper third of this black handbuilt cup, cracked into plates like a dry lakebed, with rust-red glowing in the fissures and pale dots scattered below. A single band keeps it in prose rather than the banded term — but no piece in the run wears its one stripe with more texture.
Is the band crumbling? The photo shows a crust cracked like dried mud — how it holds is not something a picture can promise, so the page describes and stops. Piece 1889 of 10,000, listed at $18.89.
