A classic piece of Illinois spongeware from Morton Pottery. This small cream pitcher features Morton’s iconic tri-color sponge glaze—green, brown, and warm ochre—layered over a ribbed stoneware body. The squared handle and compact shape are signature details used by Morton throughout the mid-century era.
Perfect for farmhouse, cottage, or Americana kitchens, or as a collectible example of Illinois pottery history.
