Pitcher 1880

Christopher Dresser’s “Pitcher” (1880) is a prime example of his innovative approach to ceramics. The pitcher, crafted in a simple, geometric form, exemplifies Dresser’s aesthetic principles. The piece showcases a rich, iridescent brown glaze, highlighting his interest in the interplay of light and color. This work, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, is a testament to Dresser's influence on the Arts and Crafts movement, bridging the gap between form and function.
