The abstract-cup family’s handbuilt member: where its wheel-thrown siblings keep regular walls, this cream cup’s rim undulates and its plaster-matte wall carries pinch marks — with the same drawing vocabulary laid over it, a brown brushed line circling the body among splatter dots and rough strokes. The base shot shows “1944” handwritten on the bare lumpy foot.
Thrown or pinched? Pinched — the wobbling rim and uneven wall say so on camera, which is exactly what earns the handbuilt tag its siblings don’t get. Piece 1944 of 10,000, listed at $19.44.
