Blue Brown Mid-Century Stoneware Pottery Pitcher design object 11 1/2" tall x 8"I'm a huge fan of the pitcher as a form (plus a pretty pitcher can always double as a vase), and to my eye this stoneware pitcher is about as lovely as they come. Beautifully thrown, with a perfectly formed slab handle, terrific checkerboard texture around its upper half, and nuanced blue glazing through which the brown clay body shows, it really elevates anything you might put in it, and near it! Nice and weighty, it feels terrific in the hand, too.
