DescriptionThis ceramic pitcher encompasses a barrel-like form throughout, characterized by its rounded center and rounded base. The upper opening of the pitcher is rounded, with a thin, dark border mirroring its contour, leading to a narrow spout at one end. A thicker, tannish-yellow line is visible inside the vessel, also mirroring the circular opening. A curved handle is attached to one side of the pitcher. The exterior surface of the vessel is painted with varying hues of brown and perhaps yellow, creating the illusion of a surface constructed of wood. Two dark border lines sit parallel to each other in the center and lower portion of the vessel, identical to the one bordering the upper opening. The underside of the vessel reveals a small, circular emblem with a star-like motif in the center, and the words "Made in Czechoslovakia" surrounding it.
