Grey Stoneware Cuspidor 1935 - 1942

Frank Fumagalli's "Grey Stoneware Cuspidor" is a watercolor drawing of a stoneware cuspidor, a type of spittoon. The cuspidor is decorated in a blue and white design with stylized floral motifs and is depicted from a slightly oblique perspective. The drawing showcases Fumagalli's skill in capturing the subtle details and texture of ceramic objects. This piece, created between 1935 and 1942, provides a glimpse into the everyday objects of the era and highlights the artist's interest in the functional beauty of utilitarian items.
