Covered Ewer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Ewer, by Ewer, features a predominantly white teapot with black designs. The body of the teapot is bulbous, sitting on a narrow base. A black line borders the bottom, and a wavy line borders the top. A scenic design depicting trees, flowers, and a body of water is centered on the front. A handle protrudes from the left side, while a curved spout extends from the right side. A lid with a small knob on top is adorned with two black bands featuring decorative patterns. The lid and handle have smaller versions of the floral design.
