Pitcher c. 19th century

This 19th-century earthenware pitcher, on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features a unique, molded design. The pitcher’s surface is adorned with an intricate grapevine motif, while the handle is shaped like a stylized greyhound. The piece is a testament to the craftsmanship of the anonymous artist, and its decorative elements highlight the popular aesthetic trends of its time. The use of brown glaze and detailed relief work contribute to the overall visual appeal of the pitcher.
