Context:

This ewer was undoubtedly made with a matching basin, now lost, and would have stood on a buffet in a dining room. Until forks became common after the seventeenth century, diners used ewers and basins to wash their hands. This ewer is an interpretation of a French style that evolved during the reign of Louis XIV (1643-1715) under the influence of his court designer Jean Berain (1640-1711), but the three bands of strapwork may have been designed by Heuglin.
