Kan c. 1620

Adam van Vianen I's "Kan" (c. 1620) is a silver ewer or pitcher, a highly ornate example of Mannerist silverwork. The piece, now located in the Rijksmuseum, is decorated with intricate relief work, featuring scenes of mythical creatures and human figures within oval frames. The ewer's elaborate design and meticulous craftsmanship demonstrate Vianen's skill as a goldsmith during the Dutch Golden Age.
