Ewer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Ewer by an unknown artist. The object is a glass jug with a handle on the right side. The jug is clear and has a diamond-shaped etched pattern around the body. The base of the jug is wider than the top and has a slight wavy edge. The neck of the jug is long and narrow, curving outward at the top to form a lip. The handle is curved and attached to the body and the lip of the jug. The jug sits on a flat surface, casting a shadow to the left. The background is a plain wall.
