Two-Handled Crock
c. 1936
Fred Weiss’s design study presents two perspectives of a sturdy, grey-blue ceramic crock, likely a proposal for production during the 1930s. On the left, we see a bold, single loop handle adorned with whimsical blue spirals and a curious question-mark shape, while the right view reveals a more traditional two-handled design with a rhythmic row of swirling motifs. This piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the industrial design process, showing how artists explored different functional and decorative options before a final product was chosen. It’s a charming snapshot of everyday object design from the Depression era.
