Ewer 1735 - 1755

This silver ewer, dating from 1735-1755, is a beautiful example of Rococo design. The intricate engraving and swirling motifs on the body of the ewer, as well as the elaborate handle, are characteristic of the Rococo style. The ewer is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period and showcases the artistry of the unknown silversmith, I.P. While the exact purpose of the ewer is unknown, it is a stunning example of decorative silverwork from the Rococo period. Currently, the ewer is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
