Pitcher 1857 - 1863

This white porcelain pitcher, produced by the Gloucester Porcelain Company between 1857 and 1863, is a fine example of Victorian-era ceramic design. The pitcher's surface is adorned with a delicate, raised floral pattern that is characteristic of the company's style. The handle, molded to resemble a twisting vine, adds to the piece's naturalistic aesthetic. This pitcher, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies the artistic trends of the mid-19th century, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the era.
