There are two large, rounded decorations on either side of the pitcher, each featuring a floral motif. The pitcher sits on a plain surface with a gradient background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The pitcher is titled "Pitcher" and is by an unspecified artist.
