Chocolate and tan handbuilt ceramic chawan with a thick sandy pale crust at the rim, piece 1988 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

Deep chocolate below, warm brown between, and at the top a thick pale crust that laps over the rim in sandy drips — too crusted and wayward to be called a band, so this handbuilt chawan keeps its crown in prose. The glazed interior gleams through the mouth.

Crust or band? The registry’s band members run clean and defined; this one drips like frosting — same neighborhood, different manners. Piece 1988 of 10,000, listed at $19.88.
