For nearly 250 reviewed pieces, scored marks had exactly one member. Piece 2010 ends the wait: hook-and-squiggle lines and a hatched patch are cut plainly into its glossy bronze-brown hide, under a glaze that pools grey-green and spits white. A thick glossy ring rounds the dark mouth; one pulled loop hangs at the left shoulder, a bare stub answering it on the right, and a black granular crust patch grips one flank. All of it handbuilt and wet-looking, like river stone.
What do the marks on piece 2010 say? Nothing the page will vouch for — hooks, squiggles, a crosshatch: the second entry in the catalog’s scratched-not-painted column, meaning left to the scratcher. Piece 2010 of 10,000, listed at $20.10.
