Warm orange blush patches wash across this squat teabowl’s flank like color rising in a cheek — a fire-given tint over the grey speckled handbuilt clay, with pinkish raw clay showing at the handle. Glossy dashes touch the rim here and there without ever joining into a band, and at the bottom of the wide dark interior, pale-green and pink-tinted squiggles wait where the tea would end.
Why is piece 2023 orange in patches? The photos show where the color lives, not how it got there — blush like that can come from the flame’s path, and the page leaves it with the kiln. Piece 2023 of 10,000, listed at $20.23.
