This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s, transports us back in time to a simpler era in American history. The artwork features a small, intricately designed jar, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and playful motifs. The jar's shape is reminiscent of traditional American glassware from the 1930s and 1940s, yet Whiteley's unique artistic touch breathes new life into this functional object. The most striking element of the piece is the pair of lions that gracefully encircle the jar's base. Their regal forms are rendered with a delicate touch, their manes and bodies composed of bold, geometric shapes. The lions' eyes are filled with a vibrant, almost playful energy, adding a whimsical touch to the otherwise traditional design.
