Fruit Jar, rendered by Violet Hartenstein circa 1940, stands as a pristine exemplar of mid-century American classical realism, originally documented for the Index of American Design. This composition captures the utilitarian elegance of everyday stoneware, elevating a simple preservation vessel into a study of form, light, and historical utility. Hartenstein’s meticulous draftsmanship translates the tactile glaze and robust volume of the jar with architectural precision, preserving a vital piece of material culture. To honor this archival legacy, each reproduction is presented with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, ensuring a sophisticated, museum-grade aesthetic across all formats.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
