Ewer 1784 - 1785

This silver ewer, crafted by French silversmith Jean-Baptiste-François Chéret between 1784 and 1785, is a fine example of Rococo style. The ewer's elegant form features intricate details like the sculpted female figure handle and the floral and foliate ornamentation. The piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This ewer, crafted during the late 18th century, showcases the high level of artistry and craftsmanship during the Rococo period. The ewer, standing at 12 15/16 inches tall, would have been a luxurious and decorative addition to any wealthy household.
