Ewer 1675 - 1815

This elaborate ewer, dating from the late 17th to early 19th century, was crafted by Ferdinand Eusebio Miseroni. The ewer is made of rock crystal, a clear quartz, and features a dragon handle that is a striking example of goldsmithing from the Baroque period. The handle is adorned with green enamel, precious gems, and a crown, adding to the lavishness of this piece. This ewer, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to Miseroni's mastery in the art of metalwork and gem-setting.
