Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic pitcher with handle on left side and spout on right side. The pitcher features a black illustration of a bell, two flags, and a wreath with text inside and below it. The text inside the wreath is illegible, but there is a name "WASHINGTON" written below it. The background of the image is a gray gradient. The pitcher has a wide base that tapers upwards, and the handle is attached to the left side. The spout is small and pointed. The pitcher appears to be an antique item, likely created by an American artist. The title of the pitcher is "Pitcher" and the artist is unknown.
