Crafted in hand-painted glazed ceramic, the two-quart pitcher is modeled after a large conch shell, finished in a luminous cream glaze with deeply ribbed detailing that enhances its organic, architectural form.

The asymmetrical silhouette is complemented by a striking coral-form handle in warm pink and terracotta tones, accented with applied seashells and seaweed motifs that add depth and dimension to the design. Entirely three-dimensional, the piece was created to function as both serveware and decorative sculpture, embodying the whimsical elegance that made Fitz & Floyd highly collectible.

Marked on the underside with the original 1989 Fitz & Floyd backstamp and “2 QT” designation, this pitcher remains a sought-after piece among collectors of Grandmillennial, Palm Beach Regency, and coastal-inspired interiors. Whether displayed on a bookshelf, styled on a console, or used as a statement centerpiece for entertaining, it brings a bold, playful presence to any space. See less
