Tan handbuilt ceramic cup whose pierced handle is studded with dark glossy beads, glaze banding the rim, piece 2006 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

The first cup of the range arrives wearing jewelry: a row of dark glossy beads studs the spine of its pierced pulled handle, like rivets on a strap. The tan handbuilt body stays bare and toasty while a wet-look glaze band rings the rim, and gloss patches pool inside. What the beads are — glaze drops, melted inclusions — the photos keep to themselves.

Are the studs on piece 2006’s handle decoration? They read that way — a deliberate-looking row down the handle’s spine — but the page only vouches for what shows: dark, glossy, and in a line. Piece 2006 of 10,000, listed at $20.06.
