Lidded ewer 1885

This silver ewer, designed by Christopher Dresser in 1885, exemplifies the aesthetic principles of the Arts and Crafts movement. Its elegant, functional form, with a slender spout and a lid featuring a distinctive handle, showcases Dresser's mastery of design. The ewer's surface is adorned with horizontal bands, adding a subtle decorative element while maintaining a sense of simplicity. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this ewer is a testament to Dresser's influence on the development of modern design.
