Novelty animal-shaped kitchenware boomed in popularity during the post-World War II era, filling mid-century American kitchens with cheerful, conversational utility. Small potteries across the United States and Japan produced a wide variety of these anthropomorphic pitchers, which families proudly collected and displayed on open dinette shelves. The fine web of surface crazing under the glossy finish gives this piece a wonderful, honest character that only comes with decades of careful storage and age. It serves as a lovely decorative accent for a cottage-style kitchen window, a unique mini vase for wildflowers, or a whimsical addition to an eclectic vintage creamer collection.
