About this work

This is a ceramic pitcher with a cream-colored body and dark blue painted designs. The patterns include swirls, dots, and leaf shapes arranged in horizontal bands around the middle and neck. The handle is simple, attached near the top. The base is plain and slightly wider than the rest. The pitcher’s style looks like it comes from a time when hand-painted ceramics were common in daily life. The blue paint stands out against the light background, making the details pop.
