Jug - "Peace and Prosperity" c. 1936

This ceramic jug, titled "Peace and Prosperity", was created by American artist Helmut Hiatt around 1936. The jug is decorated with an image of an eagle and a female figure holding a bow and arrow, both flanking an American flag. The scene is framed by a decorative scroll with the inscription "Success to the United States of America." This piece exemplifies the use of traditional pottery techniques to create a visually appealing and patriotic object. The jug is a fine example of American decorative arts from the mid-20th century.
