About this work

This is a white pitcher with a simple handle. It has wide stripes of blue, brown, and a faded orange near the top. Below those stripes, the pitcher is covered in wavy green and blue lines that look hand-painted. The base is plain and slightly chipped. The wavy lines are the main detail—no two look exactly the same, making the whole thing feel lively. It looks like something you’d use every day, not just display. If you like this style, look up zigzag.
