A branch-handled Omnibus pitcher, Barbara Eigen’s hand-painted Portuguese peach platter, and eleven individual ceramic peaches form an abundant still life in golden yellow, blush, russet, cream, and leafy green.

The collection’s appeal lies in its interplay of forms: the pitcher introduces height and intricate relief, the broad peach-shaped platter anchors the arrangement, and the individual fruits invite a relaxed, artful composition.

Omnibus Peach-Tree Pitcher
The cream-colored pitcher evokes a tree trunk, with modeled bark grooves, knots, and a curved brown branch handle. Five raised peaches nestle among curling branches and deeply veined leaves, extending the decoration around the vessel. An irregular rim and flared pouring lip complete its organic silhouette. Marked “© Omnibus” and “1¾ QT” underneath. Omnibus was a Fitz and Floyd brand.

Barbara Eigen for Block Molde Platter
Hand-painted in Portugal, the platter translates a peach into a generous sculptural form, with softly stippled orange and russet coloring, a golden yellow border, overlapping green leaves, and a brown looped stem. Its reverse bears the “Peaches by Barbara Eigen” design credit, Block Molde branding, and “Portugal” and “Hand Painted” marks. The discontinued Peaches pattern is documented from 1991–1996.

Eleven Decorative Ceramic Peaches
The individual peaches give the collection its fullness and charm. Each features a rounded body, pronounced fruit crease, short green stem, and broad leaves draped across the top. Variations in their warm coloring lend the arrangement visual movement. The peaches are unmarked; their maker, origin, and production date are unknown.

Designed for a Collected Interior
A distinctive accent for eclectic maximalist, grandmillennial, and English-country rooms, the collection pairs beautifully with chintz, gingham, wicker, creamware, and richly toned wood. Arrange it across a breakfast-room sideboard, gather the peaches before the upright platter on a kitchen dresser, or divide the fruits among favorite compotes for smaller displays throughout the home.

The combination offers both a cohesive focal point and the flexibility to rearrange individual pieces—an expressive finishing touch for interiors that celebrate color, collecting, and personality.

Offered together as a curated collection from multiple makers. Includes one pitcher, one platter, and eleven decorative ceramic peaches, for thirteen pieces total. See less
