Pitcher 1848 - 1880

This stoneware pitcher, crafted by the John Bell Pottery in the late 19th century, is a fine example of American folk art. The pitcher features a simple, elegant form, decorated with a cobalt blue floral design. This "Pitcher" from the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a testament to the skill and artistry of the John Bell Pottery, and its intricate floral decoration is a defining element of the piece.
