Rust-brown handbuilt ceramic chawan with a crazed white crust patch webbed like dried mud, piece 1983 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

One frame, one desert: a rust-orange handbuilt chawan wearing a broad white crust patch that has crazed into a web of plates, dried-lakebed style — the closest thing the reviewed catalog has shown to 1872’s lichen crust, here on a warm body instead of a dark one. The rim dips and gleams; the interior peeks glossy white.

Is it the same look as 1872’s? Close kin by eye — crazed pale crust over a contrasting body — with the differences (warmer ground, flatter crust) noted rather than smoothed over. Piece 1983 of 10,000, listed at $19.83.
