Catalogue Description: The pitcher has only half of its handle intact. It looks like the handle was made from 2 vertical coils, because what is left is one complete vertical handle with nubs on the right which indicates that there was another piece. The interior is white while the exterior is white with a black design. There are horizontal striped vine or lightening forms which slant from bottom to top.
