Comments
This attractively shaped pitcher has a bulbous body below a cylindrical neck, all above a defined base molding with a nearly square profile. Floral decoration encircles the pitcher at the shoulder, and three-leaf flowers mark the neck. Dabs of blue decorate the spout and applied handle. Although several features of this pitcher evoke the high-quality work of the Remmey potteries, the decoration on this pitcher lacks the clarity and intention of their work.
