Barthélemy Samson, a prominent French silversmith, crafted this silver ewer in 1771. The ewer's bulbous body is adorned with intricate floral motifs, a hallmark of the Rococo style, popular in 18th-century Europe. Its graceful, flowing lines and delicate ornamentation reflect the era's emphasis on elegance and refinement. The ewer, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Samson's skill and the artistic achievements of the Rococo period.
