Cup and Stand (Cup)
A stemmed bowl with a flared body and a rim cut into soft lobes, covered in a pale bluish-white glaze with fine crackle. The short foot rises from a slightly thickened base, and the plain, unpainted surface is shown in soft, even studio light against a gray backdrop.
Look closer: A faint vertical hairline crack runs down the outside of the bowl's body, just right of center.
