DescriptionA tall, brown pitcher with a long handle on one side and a short spout on the other. Its vessel is divided into three spheres with a cylindrical neck on the top one. A circular base lies beneath the bottom sphere. The entire pitcher is covered with handpainted floral designs that have geometric shapes mixed in. A stylized deer appears on each of the vessel's spheres. The painted flowers are yellow and white with dark centers. The deer have white and purple bodies with red antlers that look like leaves. All of these shapes are outlined with gold enamel. Lengths of curled glass run around the top and bottom of the neck, in between each sphere, and down the handle. The curls are painted white. Small circular buttons of a fashion are affixed on either side of each sphere. A floral shape is pressed into each one and all are painted with gold enamel. A cork is inserted into the top of the pitcher.
