Wine Cup

A small, rounded bowl with a pale grey-white glaze covered in a fine network of dark crackle lines, standing on a short, narrow foot with its unglazed base showing brown clay. The soft, even light across the curved walls emphasizes the crazed surface and the bowl's simple, balanced form against a dark backdrop.
