Pitcher

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a glass pitcher titled "Pitcher" by artist Aino. The pitcher is made of clear glass and has a handle on one side. The body of the pitcher is spiral shaped with a narrow base that widens towards the middle and then narrows to form the spout. The pitcher has a ribbed texture with raised lines running diagonally around its body. The pitcher sits on a reflective surface and casts a shadow to the left. The background behind the pitcher fades from dark at the top and sides to light in the middle.
