Tall slab-built charcoal ceramic jar whose pebble lid on a rolled collar gives it a hooded silhouette, piece 1947 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

A tall, tapering slab-built charcoal jar whose lid — a pebble ball resting in a rolled collar — completes a silhouette that, photographed from behind, happens to read like a hooded figure with bowed head. That’s the camera’s story; the pot’s own facts are a torn mouth, a mushroom-shaped lid, and slab walls that flare toward the base. The third photo separates lid from body.

Is it meant to look like someone? The page can’t know intent — it can only report that two of three photos make you look twice. Piece 1947 of 10,000, listed at $19.47.
