Paul Schreckengost's "Pitcher" (c. 1938) exemplifies the sleek, streamlined aesthetic of Art Deco design. The white ceramic pitcher features a smooth, rounded form with geometric details in silver, creating a striking contrast. The elegant handle is integrated into the pitcher's design, further emphasizing its streamlined shape. This piece, held in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Art Deco's focus on modernism and functionality.

Aerodynamically styled with complementary horizontal "speed lines," Paul Shrecken-gost's pitcher makes the most of the stylistic vocabulary of 1930's streamlined design. While appearing spherical, the pitcher is actually flattened with its rounded section only half as wide as it is high. Like many streamline forms-from trains to vacuum cleaners-it reads best viewed from the side. In fact, many such designs were conceived as much for their impact on the advertising page as on the sales floor.
