This round shaped pitcher has black or dark brown underglaze decoration depicting a tulip with a star on one side and a bird with a star on the other side. the six-pointed stars have round center with line decoration. The pitcher has a flat round base with rising rounded sides ending at a constriction or a short neck having flared rising sides ending at a plain rim. The pitcher has a spout and an applied rope handle. The handle starts at the neck and ends at a point a bit below the middle of the pitcher. The pitcher is fully glazed inside and out but not on the base, which displays the typical unglazed redware coloring. The piece is signed and dated on the base. The piece has a great look typical of Pennsylvania Dutch historical redware kitchenware but with a folk art theme. This is a beautiful pitcher made in the studio of a master potter with the Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Please carefully review pho
