Comments

The slip-molded squat pitcher has a pronounced decorative band near the top of the side walls, which bulge slightly near the bottom.  The molded handle appears applied to the body.  The spout was formed by cutting into the body.  The pitcher is covered with a mottled brown glaze on the outside walls and handle only.  The inside and bottom are coated in a clear glaze.
