Pilgrim Vase 1877 - 1889

The "Pilgrim Vase" was created by the Jersey City Pottery between 1877 and 1889. This ceramic vase features a delicate, hand-painted scene of a wintery forest, with bare trees and two deer in the background. The scene is painted on a white background with a blue glaze at the neck and rim of the vase, while the bottom is decorated with gold accents. This distinctive piece is a prime example of the late 19th-century American Arts and Crafts movement. It is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
