Striking in both form and ornamentation, this beautifully enameled Copper
ewer is shaped like a bird—an exceptionally rare and imaginative design. Resting on webbed feet, it features a tubular neck and a hinged pouring spout for ease of use. Atop the lid, two molded crouching lions add a regal touch. Gilded scrolls and intricate motifs flow across a vivid palette of blue, red, and white enamel, enhancing its bold silhouette and elevating it beyond mere function to a work of sculptural fantasy.
