Ceramic cup under a pale greige glossy wash with a thin brown horizon line and hook marks showing through, piece 1941 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

The abstract-cup family under glass: this cup’s brown horizon line and “U”-hook marks sit beneath a pale greige gloss that covers most of the body, softening the drawing like a page read through tracing paper. Only the foot band stays bare buff.

Why does the line look blurred? The wash lies over it — same drawing vocabulary as 1939, different atmosphere. Piece 1941 of 10,000, listed at $19.41.
