Workshop of Maestro Giorgio Andreoli Italian

Not on view

Against a background of deep blue, the warm ocher-colored ornament consists of monstrous sea creatures, scrolling vines, and musical instruments. A pair of portraits, enclosed within heraldic frames, may indicate that the vessel was intended as a wedding gift. Within the newlyweds’ home, the ewer would have been placed on a sideboard with a shallow basin.
