Sterling Holloware: Ewers

Antique Sterling Silver Ewers

A ewer is a type of large jug with a deep, tall bowl sitting on a stemmed base and a single vertical scroll handle. The handle is either harp-shaped or figural and extends above the rim of the mouth. The bowl is typically cylindrical or helmet-shaped, but you can also find ewers with oval-shaped bowls. It even evolved from holding water to wash guests’ hands to being used to serve wine. Nelson & Nelson’s stunning collection of antique sterling silver pitchers will make any collector swoon.
