Pitcher
This delicate porcelain pitcher and matching bowl, decorated in the classic pink and white palette favored by Victorian households, speaks to the refined tastes that arrived in Stuart with the railroad and growing prosperity of the early 1900s.
Such fine imported wares were prized possessions in Florida's frontier-turning-elegant towns, displayed proudly in parlors and used for special occasions when company called. The Kent family's decision to preserve and donate this charming set reminds us of the domestic elegance that graced Stuart homes during the city's formative years.
On display, main floor, Kitchen section.
Come in and see it. Open every day, 10 AM to 3 PM. Admission: free.
