The handle curves up and to the right from the body then back down to attach to the body. The spout is curved and flares out slightly at the end. The pitcher features two raised bands of decorative designs. The top band depicts leaves, grapes, and flowers. The bottom band shows people in old-fashioned clothing engaged in various activities. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The pitcher casts a shadow on the surface below. The pitcher is by Congress Pottery.
