The Ewer by Thomas Fletcher is a silver-colored, ornate vessel with a wide base and a narrow neck. The base is square with four feet, and the body of the ewer is bulbous with an engraved floral pattern around the lower half. A decorative band of engraved flowers and leaves encircles the upper part of the body. The spout is curved and extends out to the left, while the handle is curved and extends up to the right, featuring scrollwork at the top. The ewer sits on a gray background.
