George Loughridge

Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows swirling lines and teardrop shapes in an abstract arrangement, with fluid curves intersecting and spiraling around each other. A drawing of a pitcher is below the central design, connecting the swirling motifs to the practical form of an object. Text in the top left corner reads "FRANK NORTON WORCESTER MASS," potentially a maker’s mark or branding on the pitcher. The design combines artistic abstraction with the tangible form of a jug.
