Crock with Cover c. 1938

Yolande Delasser's "Crock with Cover" from c. 1938 is a watercolor depicting a ceramic crock with a lid. The crock is decorated with a whimsical blue and white motif of a stylized butterfly, an example of the folk art of the time. The artwork is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the beauty of simple everyday objects, showcasing the artistic potential of humble pottery. The crock’s inscription, “From E. Fowler, New Lebanon, NY,” provides a glimpse into its personal history, adding a layer of storytelling to the artwork.
