Nutmeg container c. 20th century

This 20th-century ceramic nutmeg container, made by an anonymous artist, is a simple yet charming example of functional art. Its bright yellow and white checkered design adds a touch of whimsy to the kitchen, while its clear label "NUTMEG" indicates its purpose. This small but well-crafted piece, measuring 4 x 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 inches, is a testament to the enduring appeal of everyday objects. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this container as part of its collection.
