The last of the April 30 trio trades gloss for a dry, chalky finish: a matte warm-white barrel cup, its exterior powdery rather than shiny, scattered with small iron tan-brown spots. On one side a dark sooty band crusts the rim, as if that edge stood closer to the heat. Tip it toward the light and the inside answers back — a glossy white glazed lining, the wet counterpoint to the dry outer wall. None of the three photos shows the base, so its number goes unrecorded here.
Dry outside, wet inside? That’s the contrast the cup is built on — a matte iron-flecked shell with a scorched rim, wrapped around a smooth glassy white interior. Piece 2153 of 10,000, listed at $21.53.
