Five photos circle a grey granite-speckled handbuilt chawan that carries writing: bold dark brushed letters wrap the wall, reading on one face something like “s j c” and on the other “El…aS” — quoted here as shapes, the way the catalog quoted 2089’s glaze words, and interpreted exactly as far as the pot explains itself, which is not at all. White glaze zones drift beneath the letters; thin ticked lines cross one shoulder and stay lines.
What does it say? Whatever wraps a lumpy wall in five photos and refuses to line up — the page records the strokes and leaves the reading to you. Piece 1979 of 10,000, listed at $19.79.
