Why are these pots covered in cracks? On a stretch of the red and plum vessels around pieces 1603–1651, the sandy surface is webbed with deep fissures — the same pattern a mudflat makes as it dries, carried on a fired pot’s wall. On the clearest pieces the fissures run rim to foot: slab-banded 1631, the leaning 1632, crumbling 1634, 1635 photographed standing on cracked ground that echoes its own skin, barrel-round 1638, flake-rimmed 1644, split-crowned 1648, and the torn-collared vase 1651.
The fissures are the look, not damage or defect — a dried-mudflat pattern carried on a fired wall. Softer crazing elsewhere in the run (like 1636 or 1649) is described in prose without the tag.
