Ceramic Pitcher with Black Metallic Glaze from ca. 1950
A ceramic pitcher from the 1950s, finished in a deep black metallic glaze that shifts subtly with the light. Its form is at once grounded and expressive, with curves that feel almost drawn rather than constructed. It is the kind of object one could imagine in the kitchen at Farley Farm, where Lee Miller spent her later years. A space defined not by strict order, but by intuition. Where objects were chosen for their presence as much as their purpose.

Chapter 1. Lee Miller
Antony Penrose (director of Lee Miller Archives, photographer) recalled his mother’s style as impossible to reduce to convention. Lee Miller approached objects the same way she approached life: intuitively, fearlessly, and without concern for expectation.
