Pitcher

Ceramic Art Company, Trenton, New Jersey

1889–1906 · Belleek porcelain, with overglaze enamel decoration and gilding · The American Wing

The distinctive form of this diminutive pitcher is among the most avant-garde designs produced by the Ceramic Art Company. The bold shape, accentuated by its angular handle and strong diagonal elements, is indebted to the forward-looking designs of British design reformer Christopher Dresser.
