Bold stripes. Deep green glaze. A little domestic object with a distinctly modern attitude.
Handcrafted in porcelain by contemporary artist Alissa Van Atta, Milk Jug No. 26.142 pairs crisp black horizontal stripes with the rich, glossy movement of Rainforest glaze.
The creamy white porcelain body creates a striking contrast with the dark graphic bands, while layers of deep teal and green gather around the neck, shoulders, and handle. The Rainforest glaze flows into irregular drips, softening the disciplined geometry of the stripes with organic movement and variation.
The result is a playful balance between order and unpredictability.
Inspired by the familiar silhouette of a traditional milk container, Van Atta reimagines an everyday domestic object as a contemporary sculptural vessel. Its squared body, compact handle, and distinctive pouring spout retain the recognizable language of utility while transforming it into something unexpected.
The bold stripes bring an almost graphic-design sensibility to the piece, while the shifting glaze colors introduce depth, texture, and individuality.
Each porcelain milk jug is formed, decorated, glazed, and fired individually, creating unique differences in shape, surface, and glaze movement. No two are exactly alike.
Display it as a standalone ceramic sculpture, incorporate it into a collection of contemporary pottery, or style it with dried botanical stems.
Milk Jug No. 26.142 is a little study in contrasts—graphic precision softened by the beautiful unpredictability of glaze.
