Warm sandy-tan handbuilt ceramic boulder with two tall pulled loop handles rising above its shoulders and small deep-blue glassy flecks on the flank, piece 2032 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

Two big pulled loops rise high above this warm sandy-tan form’s shoulders — but there’s no neck under them, just a ragged small opening torn straight into the crown, which files it with the two-handled boulders like 2007 and 2012 rather than the amphoras. The knuckle-worked body swirls with finger texture; small deep-blue glassy flecks scatter the flank, and hairline cracks and dark pits keep the surface honest.

Why isn’t piece 2032 an amphora? The registry draws the line at the neck: loops alone don’t make an amphora, and this one’s mouth is a tear in the crown, not a collar. Piece 2032 of 10,000, listed at $20.32.
