Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a clear glass pitcher titled "Pitcher" by an unknown artist. The pitcher has a wide, flared lip that curves downward to form the spout. The handle is attached to the right side of the pitcher, curving upward and then back down to the base. The pitcher sits on a flared base. The body of the pitcher is ribbed with vertical lines and features an etched design depicting people, possibly in a garden. The pitcher appears to be made of clear glass and is sitting on a flat surface against a plain background.
