A sandy tan handbuilt cup marked with loose black smudges that read like the ghosts of flames — abstract, unrepeatable, nothing like brushwork. The wavy rim goes glossy at its edge; the interior seals in shine. Whether fire or hand left the marks, the photos hold their tongue.
Do the smudges spell anything? No — they stay shapes, and the page resists the urge to read tea leaves. Piece 1976 of 10,000, listed at $19.76.
