Ranch House Pitcher

Invite your friends and cue the marimbas. This vibrant earthenware Ranch House Pitcher is begging to party—with sangria or lemonade in the pitcher. Between fiestas it is a joyous multi-tasker, creating instant southwestern tablescapes or displays. Hand-painted with authentic Pendleton motifs featuring aspects of the classic design of Southwest Native American art, it is fired multiple times to achieve its exuberant multi-colored design. Dishwasher and microwave safe.  7"h.; 96 oz.

Museum Provenance

We know it when we see it. It’s casually rustic, earthen-hued and sun-baked. It’s often accented with turquoise—weaving its way in geometric textiles or inlaying sterling silver jewelry. It’s even the mustang herds that still run free in the American southwest. These products emulate and embrace the style we curate, piece by piece, in the collections of our National Museums of the American Indian and American History.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
