Pitcher 1828 - 1835

This porcelain pitcher, created by the Tucker Porcelain Factory between 1828 and 1835, exemplifies American ceramic craftsmanship of the early 19th century. The pitcher features a delicate, hand-painted floral design in vibrant colors, accented by gold trim. Its elegant form and decorative motifs speak to the growing popularity of fine porcelain in the United States during this period. The pitcher, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of the Tucker factory, which played a significant role in establishing the American ceramic industry.
