Rosewater ewer. Culture: German, Augsburg. Dimensions: Height: 13 3/8 in. (34 cm). Maker: Possibly by Johann Erhard Heiglen (German, before 1687-1757). Date: ca. 1730.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. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
