Cream Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cream Pitcher by William Spode, is a white ceramic pitcher with a handle on the right side and a curved lip on the left side. The pitcher has a wide base that tapers upward and a small foot at the bottom. It features a raised design with flowers and leaves covering the entire surface, including the handle. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The pitcher sits on a light gray surface, with a shadow cast to the right. The handle is curved and has a decorative element near the top. The lip of the pitcher is also curved and has a decorative element on the left side. The raised design on the pitcher includes various types of flowers and leaves, as well as some stems and vines. The overall shape of the pitcher is asymmetrical, with the handle and lip creating a sense of movement.
