A range is a hand-curated stretch of the number line — consecutive pieces documented together. Because every piece’s price is its number times one cent, a range is also a price neighborhood: pieces 2250–2260 run from $22.50 to $22.60, no exceptions.
The documented ranges
- Pieces 1–20 — the first twenty: 16 miniature vessels at the very start of the ledger, the cheapest numbers in the series (
0.01–0.20), every listing photo reviewed. - Pieces 1692–1714 — the wild-clay stretch: 17 rough red handbuilt vessels with torn rims, coil ridges, and metallic glints, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 1716–1725 — the bridge: six dark handbuilt pieces between the wild-clay stretch and the black clay run, including a four-piece group portrait, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2085–2092 — the abstract cups: six white handmade cups, from quiet speckled cream to brushed decoration and handwritten glaze text, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 1727–1769 — the black clay run: 40 handbuilt bare dark-clay vessels, the largest reviewed stretch of the series, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 1571–1597 — 16 pieces across three clay looks: terracotta-red cups with glazed rims, white-buff vessels, and marbled clay, every listing photo reviewed.

- Pieces 1653–1687 — 34 pieces closing the red run: torn-crown brick-red cups, dark vessels with glassy pooled crowns, and a sunlit windowsill series, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 541–619 — 68 pieces from speckled pale geometry to night-black bowls, the longest reviewed stretch of the series: sand-speckled cubes and jars, dark silvered blocks, soil-brown dishes, and black-over-pale closers, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2250–2260 — 11 consecutive small handbuilt cups in white crackle glaze, the most fully documented stretch of the series: every listing photo human-reviewed, with photography notes and a guided path.

- Pieces 2261–2263 — past the pilot’s edge: three torn-white grit-speckled cups continuing the 2250–2260 family, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2334–2335 — the dark footed pair: two rough near-black bowls with silvery rim beads and glassy pooled floors, the highest numbers documented so far, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 1848–1899 — boulders and white linings: 48 handbuilt pieces from closed rock-form vessels to dark cups with bright crazed white interiors, plus zebra bands, white thread-lines, and blue flecks, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 1901–1950 — lids and brushwork: 43 pieces bringing the catalog’s first lidded vessels — nine jars, boxes, and stoppered forms — plus rust fissures, froth-lined cups, and a pale family of brushed abstract cups, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 1951–2000 — boulders, handles, and amphoras: the first fifty-piece run with no reserve gaps, bringing the catalog’s first twelve handled pieces, a nine-boulder stretch with a leaf-print fossil, milky-blue rims, and four amphoras closing at the millennium mark, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2001–2050 — rust boulders, blue crowns, and brushwork cups: the second consecutive full house, opening the third thousand with a rust-veiled boulder family, seven amphoras, ultramarine crusted crowns, incised words and numbers, and a decorated-cup finale, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2051–2100 — chawans, erupting vessels, and painted cups: 41 pieces around the already-documented abstract cups, bringing a rocky tea-bowl run with silvery well drawings, a cup fused to a rock, nine large vessels with erupting nodules, ink-wash painted cups, and a splashed finale at the $21 century mark, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2101–2150 — sandy liners, stony cups, and the writing cup: 49 pieces from dry-brushed navy openers through a sandy milk-liner family, a long navy-weather cream run, stone-bare tumblers, black-dipped and pitted cups, a weathered driftwood pair, and the writing cup whose incised fragments joined the registry, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2151–2200 — white streaked cups, painted chawans, and the first bowls: 48 pieces bringing two new terms — rust-brown streaks down warm-white cups and a crater-pitted pair — plus painted black-and-blue cups, a painterly tea-bowl run with a sand-grit outlier and coarse grit tumblers, and the range’s first open bowls closing at $22.00, every listing photo reviewed.
- Pieces 2201–2249 — organic bowls, dark grit, and the crust cups: 46 pieces from silky brushed bowls and bold black brushwork through reactive mottles and bare raw clay to a leaf impression and a lichen crust, then a sharp turn to coarse, sandy black sculpture clay, a marbled tea bowl, and five encrusted “beaded-crust” cups closing at the pilot’s edge, every listing photo reviewed.
