The pitcher is featured on Page 193 of Jane A. Kimball’s book, Trench Art: An Illustrated History.

The shell has two custom-cut bands with the same mountain-pattern, the top of which is removable. The markings on the bottom of the shell have been completely worn down and the inside of the shell cleaned as well for use as a pitcher.
