Pitcher 1850 - 1858

This white earthenware pitcher, created by the United States Pottery Company between 1850 and 1858, features a striking three-dimensional design of corn stalks and ears. The intricate relief work, characteristic of American stoneware of the mid-19th century, showcases the company's skilled craftsmanship and the popularity of naturalistic motifs during this era. This "Pitcher" is a fine example of functional yet aesthetically pleasing utilitarian art, demonstrating a blend of artistry and everyday utility.
