Description:

This 1890s body style has been discovered in a ewer and wash bowl set. The ewer is divided into four bulbous lobes. There are pleats at the spout and upper rim with vines surrounding the side and front lobes at the neck. The bottom rim also has the vine motif at the foot of each lobe. A C-shaped handle complements the piece with embossing on both sides.

This four lobed design is repeated in the bowl with an undulating rim and vines just below. A fantastic piece!
