This silver ewer and basin, created in 1608 by Jacques Bogaert, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the Dutch Golden Age. The ewer features a graceful, elongated form with a spout and a handle adorned with a stylized floral motif. Its surface is meticulously engraved with elaborate patterns, likely representing the coat of arms of Vlissingen. The ewer's refined design and intricate details highlight the high quality of silverwork produced during this period, while the inclusion of the coat of arms adds a personal and historical touch to this exquisite object.
Comments
Servants would go around with ewers and basins at the beginning and end of formal dinners. Water was poured from the ewer over the hands of the distinguished guests, and the dirty water was caught in the basin. This ewer and basin were the property of Vlissingen. The city’s coat of arms – a crowned bottle – and its motto are engraved in the centre of the basin.
