A silver and glass ewer with a bulbous frosted body and thin neck is topped with a hinged, leafy lid. An S-curved handle connects the rim to the lower body, while a bearded face is sculpted below the flared spout. Gilded floral patterns decorate the translucent glass. Intricate silver leaves and grape clusters wrap around the tiered, footed base, matching the ornate mounts on the neck and rim.
