About this work

This is a ceramic pitcher with a handle on the right side. The top half has a cream background with green and brown stripes, plus swirls and a leafy pattern. The bottom half shows a big green-and-white flower with dark leaves. The numbers "1806" are painted in black near the middle. The pitcher looks old, with some wear on the edges and colors. The design mixes simple shapes with natural-looking flowers, which was common in everyday pottery. Next, look up green, white, flower to see how plants were used in old ceramics.
