Toleware Syrup Pot, c. 1942 - A Delicate Floral Masterpiece
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Mildred Ford's Toleware Syrup Pot, created in 1942. With its vibrant colors and intricate design, this artifact represents a true testament to American artistry during the mid-20th century. The pot's surface is adorned with delicate flowers meticulously painted in watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard. The floral motifs are elegantly arranged, showcasing Ford's keen eye for composition and her ability to capture nature's beauty on a small metal canvas. Japanning techniques were employed to achieve the glossy varnished finish that gives this syrup pot its distinctive charm. This traditional method involves applying multiple layers of lacquer mixed with pigments onto metal surfaces, resulting in a durable yet visually striking piece of functional art. As we admire this jar-shaped container, it transports us back to an era when attention to detail and artistic expression were highly valued. Its presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that defines America. Now housed within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , Mildred Ford's Toleware Syrup Pot stands as a testament to her talent as well as an important contribution to the Index of American Design collection. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate not only Ford's skill but also gain insight into the diverse range of artistic expressions that have shaped our nation throughout history.
