Beautiful ewer in white Murano glass, blue and red watermarked, mouth-blown. Until the 17th and 18th centuries, ewers were used to serve drinks. Generally made of gold or silver precious metal, finely sculpted and chased, it takes the form of an elegantly shaped vase, generally taller than it is wide, mounted on a foot, with a spout and handle. Its name comes from the word aigue, meaning water in Old French (as does the locality of Aigues-Mortes). The ewer was widely used throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.  In the 18th century, it was replaced by the crystal carafe and the earthenware water jug. The water jug was originally designed to serve water on tables. It was also used for washing.  Period: Early 20th century Dimensions: Height: 33cm - Width: 16cm   Filigree glass is the French translation of the old Venetian term "vetro a filigrana"; this name covers a range of transparent blown glass varieties in which stretched glass threads ("canne") in white or various colors are incorporated.
