Jar 1895

Danish artist Svend Hammershøi created the ceramic "Jar" in 1895. The piece is a masterful example of his characteristic style, featuring a rounded form and a simple, yet elegant, design. The jar's rounded body is decorated with a brown band and a pattern of small, dark brown spots. Atop the jar, a small, animal-shaped handle serves as a lid, adding a whimsical touch to the overall design. Currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, "Jar" is a unique and interesting example of Hammershøi's work in ceramics.
