Sandy tan handbuilt ceramic mug with glossy black pools at the handle joins, piece 1994 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

Handle four, and the most dramatic joinery of the run: where this sandy tan handbuilt mug’s pulled handle meets the wall, glossy black pools flash like tar in the seams, with more black breaking at the rim spots. Inside, a pearly ring traces the floor and thin glaze trails chain along the lip.

Is the black at the joins deliberate? It gathers exactly where the handle was worked on — which is geometry, not testimony. Piece 1994 of 10,000, listed at $19.94.
