The run closes on a cup that wants to be a rock: craggy brown-grey crust ridges the whole wall like weathered stone, glossy in patches where it caught the light of the fire, with faint blue specks embedded in the crust and a glossy pool showing at the mouth. Below it all, a bare gritty trimmed foot ring — the wheel’s signature under the geology.
Are the blue specks the same as 1899’s? Fainter — 1899’s earned a tag from a clear macro; these stay in prose, per the catalog’s rule that small uncertain features are described, never tagged. Piece 1950 of 10,000, listed at $19.50 — the last page of the 1901–1950 run.
