Pitcher
This is a Pitcher. It is dated ca. 1987. Its medium is raised and cast silver. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
This handmade pitcher represents the mix of abstracted geometries and cutout shapes that informed some of Memphis's designs as well as some of the postmodern architecture of the era, including Scarpa's later work. As design for silver was rare in the late 20th century, except in jewelry, this pitcher breathed new life into silver for the contemporary market.
