Diplomatic Eagle Pitcher

Height 7.5 Inches

Crafted by Mottahedeh for the nation's most prestigious diplomatic spaces—including the Department of State, the White House, and embassies worldwide—this pitcher draws inspiration from Chinese export porcelain of circa 1810.

Its design features one of the earliest ceramic renderings of the American Eagle, a symbol of historical significance and refined craftsmanship that bridges heritage aesthetics with diplomatic tradition.

Winterthur’s ceramics collection includes about 19,000 objects made in or imported into America from the 1600s through the mid-1800s. The earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain in the collection represent a broad range of manufacturing and design types and have special strengths among American, English, and Chinese wares.
