Oil bottle c. 20th century

This 20th century ceramic oil bottle, created by an anonymous artist, is a simple yet charming example of functional design. The bottle features a checkered pattern in yellow and white, with the word "OIL" printed in a rectangular section at the bottom. Its practical use in the kitchen alongside its decorative elements makes it an interesting example of how art can be integrated into everyday life. The piece is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
