EDITORS COMMENTS
This majolica pitcher, created by American artist Della Button between 1935 and 1942, is a stunning example of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The pitcher, which is made of earthenware and features intricate designs in multiple colors, showcases Button's mastery of the majolica technique, which involves applying colored glazes over a white base glaze and then firing the piece multiple times. The pitcher is adorned with a lively scene of birds perched among pink flowers, adding a whimsical and playful touch to the functional tableware. The design is executed in both watercolor and graphite on paper, providing a detailed and precise blueprint for the final piece. Button's majolica pitcher is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during this period. It reflects the influence of European ceramic traditions, while also showcasing the unique American style and sensibility. The pitcher is an important addition to any collection of decorative arts, and is a beautiful and functional piece that adds character and charm to any table setting. This majolica pitcher is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is on display as part of the Index of American Design. The Index is a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, spanning from the colonial period to the present day. This pitcher is a valuable contribution to this important collection, and is a reminder of the incredible artistic talent that has emerged from the United States throughout history.
