Flask 1852

This earthenware flask, produced in 1852 by the United States Pottery Company, features a molded design of a seated figure amidst stylized plants and berries. The piece, a testament to American craftsmanship of the 19th century, is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The rich, brown glaze and intricate details make it a striking example of the decorative ceramic arts of the period.
