DescriptionThis ceramic pitcher encompasses a vibrant periwinkle color on its central surface. The upper mouth of the pitcher bends into a spout at the end, and appears to be lined with silver paint, though much of it is erased and chipped away, likely due to aging and usage over time. A curved handle resides on one side of the pitcher, showcasing subtle remnants of what appears to be paint. The main body of the vessel includes what appears to be a hand-painted illustration of a cluster of flowers and leaves, all outlined with silver paint. The underside of the pitcher reveals a circular base, in which a small, periwinkle marking is visible, perhaps reading "115" with a small cross underneath it, possibly indicating a price.On View
