Ewer, Glass and tin, circa 1950

Very beautiful ewer, decanter from the early 20th century. The body is made of smooth glass while the foot, handle and spout are made of tin, a very rare element and one of the oldest known at least since ancient times. The cove is graceful with a vegetal motif, as an inspiration of the louis 15 style. On the back of the spout, at the level of the handle, is engraved a hallmark "jg" overhung by a crown.
