This anonymous design for an ewer, dated 1853, depicts a white ceramic vase with a wide mouth and a delicate floral design around the body. The ewer is adorned with ornate metal accents, including a decorative collar around the top and a detailed base. Two elaborate straps with rings hang from the top and are draped with garlands of flowers, adding to the luxurious aesthetic of this intricate design. The ewer, a vessel traditionally used for pouring liquids, would likely have been a centerpiece in any Victorian home. The delicate details and intricate craftsmanship showcase the artistic sensibilities of the time.
