A silver and ivory vessel features a bulbous body and an undulating base. Raised designs of irises and flowing leaves are embossed across the hand-hammered, polished surface. A wide spout flares to our left, and a large, curved handle attaches to the rim and lower body on our right. Bright highlights glint off the textured floral patterns. Sinuous lines define the plant motifs throughout the vessel's rounded form.
