Lot 519: A Mid-20th Century Metal Ewer with Hand-Hammered Decoration
A metal ewer of baluster form featuring a two-tone finish. The upper section of the body is smooth-surfaced, leading to a flared rim. The lower bulbous portion of the body is decorated with a hand-hammered martelé finish. A contrasting metal band is applied at the junction of the neck and body. The ewer is fitted with a slender, high-arched C-scroll handle and stands on a flared pedestal foot. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
Condition report:
The ewer appears in good presentation condition. The exterior surfaces show a high-polish finish with a warm patina. There are minor surface scratches and small scattered dark oxidation spots across the body and base. The hammered finish remains crisp and well-defined. No significant dents, cracks, or structural repairs are visible.
