EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Martin Crafts Pottery's "Water Cooler, 1839/52". Created in the 19th century, this ceramic masterpiece is a true symbol of American heritage and patriotism. The incised decoration features a majestic eagle and the iconic US flag, accompanied by the motto "In hoc Signo Vinces" which translates to "In this sign shalt thou conquer". The attention to detail is evident as you observe the intricate design on this stoneware water cooler. Above where a tap or stopper would have been placed, an inscription proudly declares "Pure Cold Water" emphasizing its purpose as a vessel for refreshing hydration. Displayed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of the Americas, this artwork represents not only exceptional artistry but also serves as a reminder of our country's rich artistic legacy. The vibrant colors and decorative elements add depth and character to this remarkable piece. As you gaze upon it, you can't help but feel connected to America's past—a time when craftsmanship was celebrated and objects like these were treasured for their beauty and functionality. This water cooler stands as both an emblematic representation of national pride and an embodiment of skilled artistry from Martin Crafts Pottery.
