One gesture carries this cup: a broad dark red-brown band sweeps diagonally across the pale greige glazed flank — matte against the gloss, holding a rust-red patch and a pale mottled island inside it, and running right onto the root of the chunky, rough-edged pierced handle. Whether it’s a brushstroke or the glaze breaking is exactly what the photos don’t settle, so the band stays a band. The wobbly handbuilt rim wears crusty crawled glaze at the lip, and the top-down shot finds a glossy tan interior with a pearl smear at the well, cousin to 2045’s.
What’s the dark stripe on piece 2046? A single confident diagonal — pigment or glaze-break, the photos keep the secret and the band keeps the cup. Piece 2046 of 10,000, listed at $20.46.
