"Ewer Or Carafe In Engraved Crystal And Silver, Edouard Ernie"
Ewer in blown and cut crystal with facets and grooves and its silver setting. The crystal is engraved with flower vases and foliage. The neck of the ewer is finely chiseled with floral motifs and vine branches. The spout is closed by a lid whose grip is decorated with a floral motif in relief. The interior is in vermeil. The handle of this ewer continuing on the body is thus connected to the base decorated with a stylized laurel frieze.
Head of Minerva, from 1838.
Master goldsmith's mark: Edouard Ernie (gaiter symbol), successor to Saglier.
