Ewer

Saint-Porchaire

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is an ornate, ceramic ewer made by Saint-Porchaire. The ewer has a woman's head on the lid. The body of the ewer is decorated with intricate designs and patterns in blue, green, and gold. The base of the ewer is round and has a decorative edge. The ewer has a wide body that tapers to a narrower middle section then flares out to a wide mouth. The ewer appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
