DescriptionThis cobalt ewer is mold-blown, with a bulbous body and delicately applied spout and handle. The body of the ewer is decorated in high relief with almond-shaped forms resembling stylized cypress trees. The mouth of the ewer is now broken, but would likely have had a cup-like shape, allowing liquid to be easily poured into it from a larger vessel. Glassware produced during the Qajar era was characterized by minimal surface ornamentation and graceful forms.On View
