Description
An iconic Arthur Court rabbit pitcher, cast in aluminum and dated 1979, representing one of the most recognizable and collectible animal forms produced by Arthur Court during the height of his design career.
Arthur Court was celebrated for transforming functional serveware into sculptural objects, and this upright rabbit form exemplifies that philosophy. With elongated ears forming the handle, expressive red glass eyes, and deeply textured fur detailing, the pitcher reads as both whimsical and architectural-equally suited for use, display, or bar styling.
Arthur Court's animal motifs from the 1970s are increasingly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike, particularly figural pitchers of this scale and presence. This example retains a beautifully aged patina consistent with careful vintage use and displays exceptionally well from all angles.
