Black Glazed Ceramic Pitcher with Integrated Handle

This is a single ceramic or stoneware pitcher, characterized by its glossy black glaze. The pitcher features a bulbous, rounded base that gradually tapers upwards into a tall, cylindrical neck. The rim of the pitcher is designed with a prominent pour spout, indicative of its function for pouring liquids. A distinctive, angular handle extends from just below the pour spout down to the upper curve of the bulbous body. The handle creates an open, elongated D-shape, providing a sturdy grip. The overall aesthetic is minimalist and sleek, suggesting a modern or mid-century design influence. The reflective surface of the black glaze shows some visible dust or minor smudges, but no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage are apparent from the provided image. The consistency of the glaze across the entire visible surface indicates good manufacturing quality. The construction suggests it is molded, with the handle possibly applied separately before the glazing and firing process. The lack of visible maker's marks or signatures prevents specific attribution without further inspection. Its clean lines and dark color make it a versatile decorative or functional piece.
