Liverpool Jug c. 1936

The “Liverpool Jug,” created by Helmut Hiatt in 1936, is a ceramic pitcher adorned with a black and white design featuring a map of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by an elaborate wreath with figures on either side. The jug stands 12 1/4 inches tall, and the design is reminiscent of 18th century decorative motifs found on ceramics from Liverpool, England, which is a common source of inspiration for utilitarian ceramic works.
