Cream pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a teal-colored glass cream pitcher. The pitcher is made of transparent glass with a ribbed texture and features a handle on the right side. The pitcher has a wide lip that curves downward, forming a spout. The pitcher is teal-colored, which is more vibrant at the bottom and fades to a lighter blue-green towards the top. Water droplets are visible on the outside of the pitcher. The background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow cast by the pitcher.
