Pitcher (Goelet Schooner Prize)

Whiting Manufacturing Company American
 Designed by Charles Osborne

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 706

This pitcher and an accompanying tray (on display in the Museum’s Henry R. Luce Center for the Study of American Art) were awarded to Samuel R. Platt’s schooner, Montauk, in 1882, the inaugural year of the Goelet Cup races off Newport, Rhode Island. The dynamic design, which incorporates a mermaid, a dolphin, seahorses, and seaweed, is punctuated with bright enamel in conventionalized floral motifs and is a testament to the designer, Charles Osborne’s consummate skill and original artistic vision.
