The sharpest contrast in the white-lined family: a matte black handbuilt cup whose torn rim opens onto an interior as bright and crazed as dried porcelain paint, while a horizontal seam band below the rim crumbles rust-red between cream patches. Both photos hold the three registers — black wall, white well, rusted seam.
What’s the band below the rim? A crusted seam that breaks into rust-red crumbs and pale patches — geology on a cup’s shoulder, composition unknown to the camera. Piece 1892 of 10,000, listed at $18.92.
