About the Item

The antique brass Mughal ewer is a magnificent piece of art and craftsmanship that reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Mughal Empire. This ewer, originating from the Mughal period, is made primarily of brass, a durable and richly colored metal commonly used during that time. The ewer features a graceful and elongated shape, with a slender neck and a bulbous body tapering down to a hexagonal base. Its surface is adorned with intricate enameled inlay, adding a vibrant burst of colors and enhancing its overall beauty. The technique of enameled inlay involves delicately applying colorful powdered glass onto the metal surface and then firing it in a kiln to create a durable and captivating decoration. The Mughal ewer boasts an array of semi-precious stones meticulously embedded within the enameled designs. These stones include but are not limited to rubies, emeralds, sapphires, garnets, and turquoise, each chosen for their vivid hues and innate beauty. The stones are skillfully cut and polished to various shapes, such as cabochons or faceted stones, and set into the metal using intricate metalwork techniques like bezel settings or prong settings. The ewer's overall design is a testament to the exquisite taste and artistic flair of the Mughal artisans. Elaborate floral and geometric patterns dominate the surface, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The motifs often depict blooming flowers, scrolling vines, intricate arabesques, and ornamental calligraphy, all meticulously crafted with fine attention to detail. The handle of the ewer is ergonomically designed, allowing for a comfortable grip while pouring liquid. It is also embellished with enameled inlay and semi-precious stones, further enhancing its allure. The spout of the ewer is elegantly curved, enabling a controlled and graceful pour. The antique brass Mughal ewer with enameled inlay semi-precious stones serves as a remarkable representation of the Mughal Empire's affinity for beauty, luxury, and intricate craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to the historical significance and artistic legacy of the Mughal period.
