Object Details
- Artist
- Patrick Siler, born Spokane, WA 1939
- Luce Center Label
- Patrick Siler suggests a whole working-class environment with a limited amount of detail in his Game of Pool teapot. The artist offers a humorous contrast between the prim image of a teapot and the “bare-knuckled” world of the blue-collar pool hall.
