The last single handle of the run: a pale grey-tan handbuilt mug that photographs like a beach pebble grown a loop, fine dark specks through the stone-look body, a wet line of gloss along the dipped rim. The handle is wide-holed and easy, the most usable-looking loop of the six — an impression, not a test.
Six mugs in one run — where did the handles come from? From nowhere the catalog can see; before piece 1954 there were none, and after this run they’re a family. Piece 1998 of 10,000, listed at $19.98.
