Ewer with cover 1850 - 1899

This "Ewer with cover" was created by Reinhold Vasters between 1850 and 1899. The piece is crafted from rock crystal and features intricate carvings, a gold-plated handle and base, and a sculpted lid. The overall piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of 19th-century German glasswork. The piece would have been a statement of wealth and taste in its time.
