Late 19th Century Italian Hand-blown Glass Footed Ewer

19th century
Description

Late 19th Century Italian Hand-Blown Glass Footed Ewer

A fine late 19th century hand-blown clear glass footed ewer, probably Italian, of elegant and understated design. The globular body rises to a tall cylindrical neck terminating in a gently flared pouring lip and is fitted with a finely applied ribbed loop handle. The vessel is raised on a distinctive hollow spiral-twist pedestal above a folded circular foot, demonstrating the skill of the glassblower.

The clear glass displays the subtle surface undulations, occasional entrapped air bubbles and faint grey-green tint associated with traditional hand-blown production. The restrained form reflects the enduring influence of Venetian glassmaking.

Presented in very good antique condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. There are minor surface scratches and light internal wear consistent with age.

Height: 29 cm (11.42 in.)

Width: 15 cm (5.91 in.)

Depth: 17 cm (6.69 in.)

Declaration

Treasure Trove Worcester Ltd has dated this Italian Hand-blown Glass Ewer to the 1890s.

FAQs

A footed ewer is a decorative pouring vessel featuring a handle, spout, and elevated base, crafted in Italy during the late Victorian era using traditional hand-blowing techniques.

These vessels were formed from soda-lime glass shaped using a blowpipe, with components such as applied ribbed handles and twisted stems fused to the body while the glass remained molten.

Authentic pieces frequently display a pontil mark on the underside of the foot, minor hand-crafted variations in glass thickness, tiny enclosed air bubbles, and molten-applied handles.

A clear glass ewer functions as a refined accent piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or dining table centre, reflecting natural light and complementing minimal or traditional decor.

Wash gently by hand in lukewarm water with mild liquid soap, avoiding rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and dry with a lint-free microfibre cloth.
