Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The pitcher by Coors is a white ceramic pitcher with a handle on the right side. The pitcher has a bulbous body that tapers upward to a flared lip with a wavy edge. A raised band of small dots encircles the top of the body beneath the lip. Below this band is a raised floral design. The lower portion of the body features a pattern of raised pointed shapes. The handle is curved and attached to the body and the side of the lip. The pitcher sits on a flat surface against a plain background.
