Pa. German Flower Holder
c. 1936
Frances Lichten’s delicate watercolor preserves the rustic charm of a Pennsylvania German flower holder, a piece of folk art marked with the date 1849 on its base. The circular ceramic vessel features five upright spouts for stems and two graceful handles, all decorated with simple green leaves and flowers against a warm brown glaze. Created around 1936, this illustration likely served to document American folk traditions, capturing the handmade, earthy character of an object that looks like a wearable crown for flowers.
