I think I've figured out the connecting thread that ties all your pots together - they all have very proud spouts.

Old tea in an older teacup.

Grain is good. This has that Tri-X/HP5 look to it.

@Baisao and @Bok: thank you, but it's just a slightly old DSLR that got pushed too far with no ambient light and a lens wide open at f1.4...

It reminds me of this quote from Brian Eno:

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly,
uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It's the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”

That clay's texture in black and white reminds me of a star-filled night sky (or a Hubble deep field photo...).
