Pitcher (USA)
This is a pitcher. It was manufactured by Rookwood Pottery and decorated by Kataro Shirayamadani. It is dated 1887 and we acquired it in 1984. Its medium is thrown, glazed, and hand-painted stoneware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The ceramicist Kataro Shirayamadani participated in the "Japanese Village," a company of Japanese craftsmen who toured America demonstrating their trades in the mid-1880s. In 1887 a dealer of Asian art in Boston brought Shirayamadani to the attention of Rookwood Pottery’s founder Maria Longworth Nichols who immediately hired him.
