Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a pitcher. The pitcher is dark-colored, likely made of ceramic or glass. The handle is on the left side and curves upward. The body of the pitcher features a ribbed base, a diamond-patterned middle section with a sunburst design on either side, and horizontal ribbing above. A decorative molding encircles the pitcher just below the rim. The pitcher sits on a flat surface with a plain white background. The artist of the pitcher is unknown, but the title of the pitcher is "Pitcher".
