“Ewer R3043 Silver parcel-gilt. End of 16th century. Hispanic Society of America, New York.”

Various definitions of ewer are:  a pitcher with a wide spout; a vase-like pitcher, often decorated; a vessel that has a spout and a handle, especially a tall slender vessel with a base. The America’s Cup is a good example of a ewer, which this late 1500s pitcher does not in any way resemble (!) The date of the card is unknown, maybe 1930s – ’50s, and no duplicates show up online at the moment. See the Hispanic Society of America website for more information about them. But we wonder what the story is behind the face…
