Pitcher 1829

The "Pitcher" is a stoneware ceramic jug sculpted in relief by Daniel Greatbatch, dated to 1829. The handle is in the shape of a dog’s head, and the body of the jug is decorated with a hunting scene and other foliage. The piece is an example of the popular "Transferware" style of ceramics that was common in the 19th century, and is now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
