Description
Medium-sized pitcher. The style can be described as mid-century modern pottery with an earthy, organic aesthetic. The drip glaze technique, where glaze drips down the body of the pitcher, gives it a handcrafted, artisanal look often associated with studio pottery or mid-20th century American stoneware. This is a wheel thrown piece. On the inside, the subtle grooves left from the artist's hand are a result of the artist shaping the clay on a spinning wheel, capturing the natural rhythm of their hands. There are many fine examples of "potter's tears." It feels bottom heavy towards the wider portion of the body but feels well balanced. The outside is smooth along the neck of the pitcher; there are some subtle grooves towards the bottom of the piece. The spout, while thin and delicate, appears appropriate and shouldn't break if used properly. The handle appears hand pulled. It appears resist was applied to the top rim and reveals the gray fired clay. The warm orange and brown tones, combined with the unique glaze pattern, make it ideal for rustic, bohemian, or farmhouse décor styles. There are no visible chips or cracks, but please consult photos for your inspection. This item was discovered in Chicago, Illinois 2024. Origin is unknown, so I can't say if this is safe for kitchen use.
