Four dark grey glazed forms, grouped against a white background. The three left forms are tall, with a slightly tapered shape and rounded bottom. The fourth, to the right, is short, with a squat shape and round, flat top. The glazes share the same graphite grey color and satiny finish, but have different textures. The leftmost form, set off by itself, has a smooth texture with a couple large pinholes in the surface. The center form has a thick, pitted, blistered glaze, with a fat, drippy edge near the bottom of the form. The center right form, set behind the center and rightmost forms, has a smooth finish with layers of long drips running down the sides. The rightmost, short form has a puckered, drippy brownish grey glaze on the top surface, spilling down over a dark grey blistered glaze on the sides.
