An orange plastic jug on a picnic table sets this picture apart from the apple crate labels around it, since its subject is an ordinary household container rather than fruit. Picnic tables of this kind became a common sight in parks, campgrounds and backyards across America after the Second World War, and plastic jugs were often sold as lightweight, inexpensive alternatives to glass or metal. The bright orange color shows how synthetic dyes stood out against wood and grass, and the scene reflects the casual outdoor life of that period.
