Dark handbuilt ceramic boulder with two pulled loop handles, a torn crater mouth, and pale frost-like speckling, piece 2007 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

Two pulled loops on the shoulders and no neck between them — where an amphora would raise a collar, this dark handbuilt form just tears open at the crown, which is what makes it a boulder. Pale frost-like speckling dusts the grey-black body, and the flanks keep the dimples of the knuckles that shaped them.

Is piece 2007 an amphora or a boulder? Boulder — the catalog draws the line at the neck, and 2007 doesn’t have one: handles yes, collar no, just a crater. Piece 2007 of 10,000, listed at $20.07.
