Cream Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cream Pitcher, by unknown artist. Large white ceramic pitcher with two handles. The body of the pitcher bulges out and tapers down to a narrower base. The base of the body features a geometric design with interlocking diamond shapes at the bottom. The rest of the body has a black leaf pattern on a white background. There is a small white ruler placed to the left of the pitcher. A small white plaque with black text sits to the right of the ruler and reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1934". The image is in black and white. The background is plain and light-colored.
