Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pitcher by Louis Comfort Tiffany features a teal-colored glass pitcher with a ribbed neck. The pitcher has a bulbous body that tapers up to the ribbed section, then flares out at the top to form the mouth. A handle is attached to the right side, curving up and back. The pitcher appears to be made of translucent glass with small bubbles visible within. The background of the image is gray, with the pitcher casting a faint shadow.
