Lot 47:
Description
This lot comprises two wheel-thrown stoneware pitchers of graduated sizes. Each vessel features a tapered, cylindrical body characterized by horizontal ribbing and a flared rim. The pitchers are designed with pointed spouts and large D-shaped handles. The matching recessed lids are topped with cylindrical knob handles. The pieces are finished in a two-tone matte glaze, with the lower portions of the bodies and the tops of the lid knobs in a mottled medium-blue, while the upper sections and primary lid surfaces are a contrasting cream color. A thin brown wash highlights the rims, handles, and lid bases. The undersides of both pieces are finished with a solid blue glaze (photo 3). No maker’s marks, signatures, or stamps are visible on the base or body of either item.
Condition report:
Both pitchers are in good condition. There are no visible chips, cracks, or repairs to the bodies, spouts, or lids (photo 1, photo 2). The glazes exhibit minor irregularities and pitting consistent with the manual firing process. The unglazed foot rings show minor shelf wear (photo 3).
