EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pewter pitcher, created by American artist A. Zimet around 1936, is a stunning example of decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. The pitcher, with its elegant and intricate design, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during this period. The pitcher, which measures approximately 12 inches in height, is embellished with engravings that add to its visual appeal. The engravings, which include geometric patterns and floral motifs, are meticulously rendered, showcasing Zimet's exceptional skill as an artist. The pitcher's body is made of pewter, a metal that was popular for tableware during this time due to its durability and classic appearance. This pitcher is not only a functional object but also a work of art. Zimet's use of watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paper to create the design adds an extra layer of depth and texture to the piece. The pitcher's color palette, which includes muted tones, is reminiscent of the era's aesthetic sensibilities. The pitcher is part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s to document American-made decorative arts and crafts. This pitcher can now be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Whether displayed on a table as a functional piece or admired as a work of art, this pewter pitcher by A. Zimet is a cherished addition to any collection or gallery.
