PAIR OF CUT CRYSTAL WINE EWERS WITH SILVER MOUNTS GERMANY, FIRST HALF

A refined pair of wine ewers made of transparent cut crystal with diamond and radial cutting, mounted in artistic silver settings. The disc-shaped bodies are decorated with complex geometric cutting forming radiating star-like compositions that create a striking play of light across the crystal surface. The silver mounts display finely worked decorative plasticity. Each ewer features a shaped neck with a hinged lid, an elegant pouring spout and a curved decorative handle with volute elements. The interior and selected exterior parts of the silver mounts are gilt, creating a rich contrast with the clear crystal. Around the body runs a wide openwork silver band decorated with relief ornaments of stylized flowers and scrolling foliage. The vessels stand on circular bases with engraved decorative borders. The combination of heavy cut crystal and finely crafted silver gives the objects a ceremonial character and makes them striking elements of formal table service.
