A tin pitcher with a tall strap handle and an elongated lip is a reminder that Spratling's design eye was not confined to silver: he applied the same concern for clean, useful form to humbler metals. The drawn-out spout and the high strap handle give the vessel a strong, economical profile.
The piece is recorded in Goddard's Spratling Silver: A Field Guide. Worked in tin rather than silver, it speaks to the breadth of objects that came out of his program, where good design rather than precious material was the point.
