DescriptionRectangular, earthenware cream pitcher with an all over silver luster. The sides swell from a narrow base to two bands of rope decoration that circle the sides. The cream pitcher then narrows before swelling again to accomodate the spout, with a handle opposite. Mold lines are visible along the spout and handle. The luster has worn off slightly on protruding sections of the cream pitcher, most notably the rope decoration, handle, and spout. A relatively large chip in the foot underneath the spout was repaired using a putty-like substance.
