Tan handbuilt ceramic cup with a knotted pulled handle, dark glossy blobs at the joins, and thin white trailed squiggles, piece 2020 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

A tan sandy cup whose handle ties itself in a knot, with dark glossy blobs seated at both joins — the second handle in the range wearing beads, after 2006. Thin white squiggles wander the flank, looping dashes circle the rim, and a little white doodle waits at the bottom of the cup where only the drinker would find it. How the white lines got there — trailed, brushed, poured — the photos don’t say.

What’s at the bottom of piece 2020? A white doodle, drawn to be discovered on the last sip — the first of several interior doodles in this run of cups. Piece 2020 of 10,000, listed at $20.20.
