Perfect Form - Vintage Ribbed Studio Pottery Pitcher Incised "R" antique carved whimsy and were primarily made forAn excellent pitcher to display atop the old painted stool I just listed perfectly complementary. Pitchers are my favorite form of pottery, and the combination of boxy, ribbed body, swoop of a handle, and narrow neck opening to wide lip on this one is really beautiful. Hand thown and incised with a "R" on the underside; I have not identified the potter. Earthy modern, mid late 20th c. I believe. 6 3 8 t x 3 1 2 d at base. 5 1 2 across at handle spout.
