Blue Brown Mid-Century Stoneware Pottery Pitcher hand-painted face where they can be appreciated

where they can be appreciated every day

It is difficult to acquire a sense of rhythm

which only adds to the “may the sun—or moon—shine on you wherever you go” feeling of this piece

and one corner of the cardboard on the back loose

evoking planes

Blue Brown Mid-Century Stoneware Pottery Pitcher hand-painted face where they can be appreciatedI'm a huge fan of the pitcher as a form (plus a pretty pitcher can always double as a vase), and to my eye this stoneware pitcher is about as lovely as they come. Beautifully thrown, with a perfectly formed slab handle, terrific checkerboard texture around its upper half, and nuanced blue glazing through which the brown clay body shows, it really elevates anything you might put in it, and near it! Nice and weighty, it feels terrific in the hand, too.
