Ewer 1885 - 1895

This silver ewer, crafted by Giacinto Melillo between 1885 and 1895, showcases the artist's skill in metalwork. The ewer's elegant form, with its fluted body and graceful handle adorned with a sculpted figure, reflects the classical influences prevalent in late 19th-century design. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is a testament to Melillo's artistry and the enduring appeal of silver as a medium for both functional and decorative objects.
