A dark egg with a short ragged rim raised around its small, squarish mouth — not enough neck to call it a bottle, so the ledger calls it a boulder. The grey-black handbuilt surface crackles into crusty zones threaded with dark hairlines that open onto nothing, and pale frost specks scatter across it like the first minute of snow.
Is piece 2008 cracked? Its surface is — deliberately left that way, a crust of hairline openings that reveal no break in the wall, just the texture the firing gave it. Piece 2008 of 10,000, listed at $20.08.
