Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The pitcher is made of clear glass. The body is bulbous with a short neck and a lip at the top that curves downward on the front side. A handle protrudes from the right side, curving up and back. Two small glass balls are attached to the base of the handle. The base is flat and circular. The background is white and gray gradient.
