Label TextMade in the shape of a waterfall with a tree trunk for a handle, this pitcher brought the American landscape to the dining table. Praised in painting, poetry, and song, America’s natural wonders were also celebrated in the decorative arts. Elements of landscape on the decoration of tableware made nature a part of everyday life, even for city dwellers.
